The content of the effluent from an ileostomy is high‐volume, liquid, and contains proteolytic enzymes. It is crucial to maintain a stoma appliance that protects the surrounding skin. This is an interesting report of a 74‐year‐old female who present bladder carcinoma and underwent total cystectomy, ileal conduit, low anterior resection of the rectum and loop ileostomy for covering the anastomosis at July 7, 2002. After surgery, the stoma was depressed in fatty abdomen and resulted in the trouble surrounding skin. The erosion around stoma was not healed easily. We applied bFGF spray to the erosion around the ileostomy. One week later, an ostomy appliance was able to apply longer, because of reducing exudates from the erosion. The difficulty to maintain the good status surrounding skin with ileostomy was higher up with increasing meal and activities of diary living. The application of bFGF spray advanced the healing skin erosion. It is useful for caring the skin trouble with ileostomy.
