I accidentally made a small cut/laceration on my stoma from my bag. I pinched my stoma putting on the bag by accident. I used a small cloth to put pressure on it, and it stopped the bleeding. Now that it's healed, it has developed a small bump like a round "cap". Has this happened to anyone? I've been told by my ostomy nurse that it's completely normal and it healed properly. It just scares me to see it, and I'm super careful now. Just wondering if others have experienced this?

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.
