Hi Craig - do you by anychance have whats called a loop ileostomy?? If so, that could be your second hole .... the other alternative is that it could be a fistula - not quite sure what you mean by 'under your skin'? They usually occur if you have Crohns? Not sure why your stoma was formed so cannot be much more use! Hope you get it sorted soon - may be nothing, fingers crossed. Rach xx
