Hi there, I had my surgery 5 months ago and recently have noticed a change in the color of my stoma. Best way to describe it initially it was the color of your tongue, pretty pinky but in the last couple of weeks it has become a really dark red, (kinda like if you bite your tongue or like a canker sore). I have made sure that the base plate is not too tight or rubbing, it isn't sore and it's working as it should. Anyone have any idea what this could be or I should be worried? Thanks in advance.
