Is it  like a moat all around the stoma??



If yes it's quite common, you shouldn't need any surgery it will heal by itself, but it's  very BLEEP painful. Mine took about 6 weeks to heal. Some nurse's used to pack it with sorbsan, I don't think it helped.

Thanks so much stu...x



large moat and what looks like holes in bit of wall that is left

the moat around my stoma came from useing to much adapt paste around my wafer and it pushed the skin in to form a moat.Then the crap seeped down inside and burned the skin.Now I just put a fine bit of paste on the bottom of the wafer at 5-6-7 oclock where the crap drops down into the bag.The moat is gone and no rash.nice.
