Concerned About a Sensitive Bubble on My Stoma

This topic is about a person who has been living cancer-free for 15 years after battling stage-3 colon cancer. Recently, they noticed a small, tender "bubble" on their stoma and are feeling concerned, especially given their medical history. They are reaching out to see if others have experienced something similar.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people have experienced small lumps or "bubbles" on their stoma, which often turned out to be granulomas.
2. A common treatment for granulomas involves an ostomy nurse or doctor using silver nitrate sticks to cauterize them. These sticks are often described as looking like long matches.
3. It is strongly recommended to schedule an appointment with a physician or a certified ostomy nurse as soon as possible. This will help determine the exact cause of the bubble and ensure the right treatment is given.
