Hi all. I have had my ostomy for just over a year now. I am still learning what to eat and when lol. My main concern is I seem to always have bumps around my stoma. Doing some research, it says maybe I am not cutting the hole large enough, but I don't feel that's the problem. The bumps don't hurt, but they sure do not look nice. I also tend to feel burning a lot, and again after research, I found it could be from leakage, but every time I decide to rip my appliance off, there is no residue to be found. I am at a loss..... Any suggestions will be most helpful.
