Recurring Blisters on Stoma - Seeking Advice

This topic is about dealing with recurring blisters or granulomas on the tip of a stoma. These are small, sore spots that can appear, heal, and then reappear, causing some concern. Here are some insights and advice shared by others who have experienced similar issues:

1. Granulomas are quite common and generally harmless, though they can bleed a lot.
- They can often be removed by a stoma nurse using a silver nitrate stick, which you can find at pharmacies.
- If they are persistent or large, medical staff might cut or laser-cauterize them.

2. A likely cause of these granulomas is friction from the pouch rubbing against the stoma tip.
- Applying a protective barrier, like Sudocrem, can help reduce soreness and protect the area while it heals.

3. For short-term relief, some have tried:
- Bonjella, a clear oral-ulcer gel, applied directly to the granuloma.

4. Some people have noticed that these sores can coincide with Crohn’s flare-ups or certain foods.
- Eating more yogurt has been helpful for one person.

5. Many people have experienced similar lesions, and they often resolve on their own within a few weeks, although some may last longer without getting worse.
