If a yeast infection occurs, thorough cleansing should be performed, followed by patting the area dry and applying a prescribed topical agent, such as triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog) spray or nystatin (Mycostatin), to the affected region. The peristomal skin should be cleansed gently with warm tap water using gauze pads or a clean washcloth. An ostomy deodorant may be placed into the pouch, not around the stoma. Alcohol should not be used to clean the stoma. The area may be cleaned with warm tap water.
