Red and White Lumps on Stoma: What Could They Be?

Topic Explanation
The forum discussion is about a person named Peter who has had an ileostomy for two years and is noticing little red and white lumps on his stoma. He is seeking advice on what these lumps could be, as they are not bleeding.

Advice and Insights
1. Consult a Healthcare Professional:
- It is advised to talk to a stoma nurse or doctor to get a professional opinion on the lumps.
- A stoma nurse can provide a diagnosis and suggest appropriate care or treatment.

2. Possible Causes:
- The lumps could possibly be granulomas, which are small areas of inflammation.

3. Suggested Care:
- Applying a blob of Sudocrem on the lumps was suggested as a potential remedy.

4. Monitoring and Follow-up:
- If the lumps are identified as granulomas, they may not be a cause for immediate concern but should be monitored.
- It is important to keep an eye on the lumps and seek further medical advice if they become sore, start bleeding, or become bothersome.
