Stelara and healing

I has an ileostomy in July while still on Stelera. I had a 6" incision and 4 incisions of 1" each all on the abdomen. All healed without issue and in normal time according to the surgeon and ostomy nurse.

I also developed an allergic reaction the first five wafers they had me try. This caused a variety of small ulcerations under the wafer area. All those healed when a wafer was found that I wasn't allergic to. Also I used a powder and skin barrier before applying the wafer. Those healed quickly but they were not deep.

I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Also, is everyone sure this isn't the result of contact dermatitis?
