This topic is about dealing with severe skin ulcers caused by Crohn's disease, which have developed near a stoma. The person experiencing this issue has tried various treatments without success, and their medical team is suggesting relocating the stoma to help the ulcers heal. They are seeking advice and insights from others who might have faced similar situations.

Here are some points to consider:

1. The person is curious if anyone else has had their stoma relocated and what the surgery involves. They want to know if it is as extensive as the initial colostomy surgery, which typically involves opening the abdomen and stapling.

2. The ulcers are directly related to Crohn’s disease and are located right next to the stoma. Previous treatments like collagen patches and silver-nitrate sticks have not worked and even worsened the condition.

3. The main goal of relocating the stoma is to move it away from the ulcerated area, allowing that skin to heal properly.

4. Although feeling apprehensive, the person feels they have no other options left.

5. One suggestion offered is to try using fresh aloe vera. You can cut a leaf, apply the juice directly to the ulcers, let it dry, and then dust the area with Stomadhesive Powder before reapplying the barrier and pouch. This method reportedly led to rapid improvement and complete healing of similar ulcers for someone else, potentially avoiding the need for further surgery.
