I've been in the crohn's group for a little while. If anyone wants to know my history, I guess you can check there. I've had a permanent ileostomy for 41 years. I have been wondering if anyone may be having a similar problem that I've been having with my stoma. All over it small bumps have been growing on it. In addition to these, along the base of the stoma, a very painful, red and bloody raw area has appeared. Has anyone experienced anything like these? Thanks for your help, Gary
