This is more of a personal post op management question than a medical one.

What are people doing to protect the very new and still-sensitive skin after the ostomy site had closed and pretty much healed over?

My stoma site has is completely closed but it still gets irritated from fabric/waistbands etc. brushing against it. I’m curious what solutions people have used. Do you just put a large bandaid over the site? Keep using the post surgical gauze and adhesive? Any solutions that don’t involve adhesive? Also any cream/vitamin e or similar to help the scar tissue?
