     Hi everyone,  For the past month or so I have noticed a different area on my stoma where stools are coming out of.  I had spoken to the nurse at the surgicial clinic and she just
ushed it off.  But the ostomy nurse I see yesterday measured it, it measured 2 cm in depth, he noticed some watery liquid coming out of it.  So going to see my dr on Tuesday not sure what it can be.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<
