Question
Doctor, I had an ostomy but I have ulcers around the place where the colostomy bag was attached. I glued the bag back. So what should I do about ulcers around the colostomy bag?

Hello! Peri colostomy is a common lesion, because the skin around the colostomy is often moistened by fecal fluid. Depending on the extent of the damage, you can improve with topical care, apply some anti-ulcer chemicals, change the type of colostomy wrap. In most cases, care can be taken at home.
You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice and examination by specialist doctors. Please contact call center or customer care before examination.
Thank you for sending the question about ulcers around the colostomy bag what to do to Vinmec. Best regards!
