The most common colostomy complications include stoma prolapse, perforation, stoma retraction, fecal impaction, and skin irritation. Leakage at the anastomosis site can occur if other sections of the bowel are compromised or weak. Seventy-three percent of colostomy patients report skin abnormalities, including irritant reactions primarily caused by urine and fecal leakage. Pre-existing skin conditions include psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, infections, allergic contact dermatitis, and pyoderma gangrenosum. It remains unclear whether persistent or recurrent dermatitis is caused by allergies, infections, or fecal irritation. Colostomy complications frequently occur in hospital settings—such as infections caused by fecal matter leaking from the stoma bag, which leads to skin redness, itching, pain, and infection. Stoma care is essential to protect and maintain the skin, enabling the patient to better accept their condition and preventing stoma-related complications.
