Slecht hechtende stomaplak door dermatitis

Peristomal dermatitis is a frequent problem in stoma patients. This causes problems with the adhesion of stoma material. Not being able to rely on a leak-free stoma plaque has major social consequences for stoma patients. In this article we discuss the differential diagnosis, pathophysiology and therapy based on a patients case. If the dermatitis is based on an irritating contact dermatitis due to the stoma adhesive, the dermatitis should be treated with a local corticosteroid, preferably in the form of a nasal spray.
