My stoma is flush to my skin, slightly, shallow retracted. The ideal would be a shallow convex wafer, but I like my flushable bags, and they do not make convex versions of the flushables.



I am starting having granulomas around my stoma. I have heard that careful use of silver nitrate will eliminate them. Is there any alternative cream or some other sort of treatment ?

silver nitrate is optimal.



I have used a styptic pencil to stop the bleeding with some decent results, but it doesn't eliminate the granuloma.

Not exactly sure what type of granulomas you have , hopefully there's no infection inside ???

but sometimes the Doc can freeze them and remove.....I've heard of ultraviolet light therapy also........steroid creams are sometimes used but don't seem to be as effective.  I'm so sorry to hear you are dealing with that
