I read the items in "The minimum prostate kit".
I see you said you use alcohol prep pads. Are alcohol pad wipes ok for long term use?
They sure would make things much easier for me, but I didn't get them cause I heard they can dry my skin out if used often. So I was using a hospital cleansing spray.
So do you think it's ok for me to use the Alcohol prep pads long term?
I cath my stoma about every 3 hours, even at night time when I'm trying to sleep.
Thanks for your help,
Bob Young

Ron here,
No simple answer for this...
We are all different.
So use the alcohol and see what happens.
Iodine is another alternative.
Hope this helps.
