Peristomal abscess (PA) is an uncommon but challenging peristomal skin complication.

The presence of the wound makes it difficult to maintain a seal between the ostomy skin barrier and the peristomal skin resulting in frequent removal and application of the skin barrier to prevent leakage and allow for daily wound care.
