White Bumps on My Stoma: Seeking Advice and Experiences

This topic is about a person who has had a colostomy for almost a year and has recently noticed some white bumps appearing on their stoma. They are feeling confused and a bit isolated because they have received different advice from various nurses on what to do about these bumps. Here are some insights and advice shared by others who have faced similar situations:

1. Some people have experienced small white bumps on their stoma that eventually went away on their own. They chose to keep an eye on the bumps without taking any immediate action.

2. It is often recommended to consult with a stoma surgeon or an ostomy specialist. An in-person examination is crucial to determine if the bumps are harmless or if they require further attention.

3. One person shared that ignoring painful white bumps led to a serious issue, as they turned out to be ulcers caused by Pyoderma Gangrenosum. This condition required treatment with cauterization and a long healing period, highlighting the importance of seeking medical advice promptly.

4. For those looking for immediate advice related to ostomy products, reaching out to ostomy supply manufacturers like Hollister or Coloplast can be helpful. They often provide useful guidance and troubleshooting tips.
