Hi Billie



I once had ulcers around my stoma and a ET nurse  had given me a referral to a dermatologist that specializes in this area .The doctor did a few tests and prescribed me some ointment.and is all cleared up, it was very bad, had nurses coming in every other day.I had all the dressings for the wound too. Try to talk to your family doctor to get a referral. Good luck
