This topic is about small white bumps that can appear on the edge of a stoma. People are sharing their experiences and advice on what these bumps might be and how to treat them.

Here are some possible causes and treatments:

1. Granulation tissue or granulomas:
- These are small white or red bumps that might bleed and become sore.
- They are generally harmless, but if they persist, they can be treated with silver nitrate or, in more troublesome cases, removed surgically.
- Often caused by ill-fitting wafer openings, either too large, exposing the skin, or too tight, rubbing against the stoma. It's a good idea to re-check your template and cutting dimensions.

2. Other possibilities:
- Viral lesions, which often resolve on their own.
- Ulcers, which should be ruled out with a professional examination.

3. General recommendations:
- Take a photograph of the bumps and arrange an in-person review with an ostomy nurse or surgeon, as it's always better to be cautious.
- Provide your healthcare professional with details about your surgery date, the type of appliance you use, and any recent changes to the wafer size or shape to help with diagnosis.
