Summer is a great time to get out and enjoy the sun and fine weather. But for those of us living with a stoma, it can also be a time of challenges. Stomas are not always comfortable and they can make you feel quite self-conscious. I have worked closely with Alexandra Freitas to educate and promote the Medicareplus barrier range through education events at both an acute hospital trust and a hospice organisation. Cavilon™ Durable Barrier Cream is durable and resists wash-off so only needs to be applied ‘night and day’ If you have missed a particular area, please wait until the initial application has dried, then reapply as required.
