This topic is about noticing small red and white lumps on an ileostomy stoma. If you have an ileostomy and see similar changes, here are some helpful insights and advice:
1. It's always a good idea to contact a stoma nurse or doctor for an assessment. Getting a professional evaluation is the safest first step to understanding what's happening.
2. These lumps might be granulomas, which are generally harmless. However, it's important to keep an eye on them to ensure they don't become painful, start bleeding, or cause any other concerns.
3. For topical care, you might try applying a small amount of Sudocrem to the lumps. This can help soothe and protect the area.
4. If you receive your ostomy supplies through a home-delivery service, check if they offer access to a stoma nurse. This can be a convenient way to get advice and follow-up care.
