This topic is about someone who noticed a small, painful bump next to their stoma, which grew to the size of a peanut and bled easily. They sought medical advice to understand what it might be and how to address it.

Here are some key points and advice shared in the discussion:

1. The bump was identified by surgeons as a "skin tab" and was not connected to the stoma itself.
2. It was removed under local anesthesia, cauterized, and sent for a biopsy to ensure there were no underlying issues.
3. After the removal, the person experienced relief with no more bleeding, pain, swelling, fever, or changes in stoma output.
4. They are still waiting for the biopsy results and have been trying to get in touch with the hospital team for further guidance and to schedule a follow-up appointment.
5. Others in the community offered support, encouraging persistence in contacting the medical team for the biopsy results and suggesting they enjoy the relief from symptoms while waiting for the next steps.
