Topic Explanation:

The discussion is about a concern regarding a slightly discolored part of a stoma. The original poster is asking if this discoloration is something to worry about or if it requires medical attention.

Advice and Insights:

- A darker red part of the stoma can be normal if it has been bumped or compressed by a wrap or belt.
- Discolorations can occur from time to time due to friction, as the stoma is delicate, but they usually do not last.
