I noticed this yesterday, it is on the bottom so you cannot really see it from the top. I have been sitting in the tub for over an hour and it has not softened up much. I may call the nurses but thought I would try here first. Would it be from laying on my stomach? But I have done that before. My new Salts drops? It is just weird.

Is it possible your wafer was cut a little too close? Or somehow rubbed against the stoma?

Nurse at first look said there is nothing to worry about. See what she says tomorrow. My flanges are pre-cut and are not tight.

My husband's ostomy nurse recommended the site two years ago. The help and recommendations they have given us is invaluable.

Going to the nurse tomorrow. Said it was an ulcer. They just want to have a look. If that is what is on the outside, what is on the inside.

Necrotic slough, watch it and send more pics. Nurse and doc looked at it. If they are not worried, I am not worried.

Looks much better today. Cannot think of any trauma that may have caused it. See what the nurse says.
