Hello. I wonder if anyone can help?
I had my ileostomy created in 2014 for UC and have been managing pretty well. I'm using Mio bag with Eakin slim.
Over the last 6 months I have developed a sore area to one side which comes and goes, it's extremely painful (stabbing/burning) and looks like a wound not granulated tissue. My nurse and surgeon don't know what it is, offered to burn away under anaesthetic which I declined as they had tried silver nitrate on it which was excruciating). It disappeared then reappeared, sometimes it looks as though there is an ulcer on it too.
Has anyone experienced this, or know what it is, what causes it and how I can deal with it? I'm extremely active and fed up with the pain of it.
Thanks
