Yes, stoma paste is specifically formulated to help fill small creases, scars, folds, gaps, or irregular skin contours around a stoma. It acts like a filler or caulking agent to help create a smoother, more even surface so the ostomy wafer or skin barrier can fit closely against the skin.
Stoma paste may help reduce small spaces where leakage can occur and may be applied directly to the skin around the stoma or to the wafer opening, depending on the product instructions and pouching system. Pastes can vary by formula, alcohol content, sting-free design, consistency, tube or strip format, adhesive properties, and compatibility with ostomy pouches, wafers, skin barriers, or barrier rings, so product specifications and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully before ordering or use.
