Hi Fran,



For years, I'd get little "red bumps", and sometimes they would turn white, right under the stoma, on the irritated skin.  I went to a dermotologist, who wanted me to go to a surgeon.  I opted to live with it, and at times it was painful, and then they would heal up. Then about three years ago, I had a bleeding episode.  When I opened my pouch it was filled with blood and when I took it off, several areas around the stoma just started spraying blood... That was a trip to the emergency room, and when I finally saw the ( renowned) surgeon, he said that it was Pyoderma Gangranosum.....  not unusual for people who have had inflammatory Bowel Disease.  In my case, it was Ulcerative Colitis, and those painful little red bumps were ulcers.  The irritations I was getting also turned into "holes in my skin" that took months to heal. I don't know if this is the same thing....but I still get those painful red bumps on ocassion, and have to take special care that they do not deteriorate.  I hope this helps.

hi

i also have red bumps around the stoma. the stoma nurse said that they were irritations from the rim of the flange. she didn't seem too concerned but gave me a paste, i guess to cushion the area. that didn't work for me. so i am living with it- the nurse didn't seem too concerned i get very little bleeding and it doest hurt very much.
