Yes, stoma powder can help absorb moisture from moist, weeping, raw, or irritated skin around a stoma. It is an ostomy accessory used on peristomal skin to help create a drier surface before applying an ostomy wafer or skin barrier.
By helping manage moisture, stoma powder may support wafer or skin barrier adhesion as part of an ostomy pouching system. It may also be used with a skin barrier wipe or barrier film as part of a crusting technique when directed by product instructions or healthcare guidance. Customers should contact an ostomy nurse or healthcare provider if the skin around the stoma is broken, painful, bleeding, worsening, or not improving.
