I'd suggest it is time to see or call an ET nurse.  Loren

You may have hit the side of your stoma with the wafer hard enough to cause an abrasion while applying or removing it.  It could also have been caused by a finger nail or pretty much anything else that touched it a little harder than you may have realized.  It doesn't take much to leave a visible cut...

beans is right just brushing it with a towel while drying can cut it.The "bud" is very tender and of course once cut takes longer to heal.
