I hope I can explain this correctly... My stoma looks good and healthy when it's all washed and clean, however, I have some discomfort... It almost feels like a cut would feel. I can't see anything wrong, however, it does bleed once in a while. Does anyone else have discomfort around their stoma? It feels like it's more on the inside, right edge of the opening, where I can't see it. I hope I'm making myself clear... It's a little hard to explain. It's not so painful I can't stand it, more of an annoying feeling. It's been a little over 5 months since I had my surgery, and I don't know how long it's supposed to take to completely heal. Any thoughts? Thanks...
