Stoma powder is a medical-grade absorbent powder used in ostomy care to help manage moisture on the skin around a stoma. It is commonly used on moist, weeping, raw, or irritated peristomal skin before applying an ostomy wafer or skin barrier.
By absorbing moisture, stoma powder may help support the fit and adhesion of an ostomy pouching system. Product instructions and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully before use, especially when skin around the stoma is irritated, broken, or not healing as expected.
