Help needed. Photo included. Found something on my Stoma!

[guest78]

Hey everyone,
I hope you're all well! I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a little thing I've found on my Stoma (Margaret) whilst changing it last week.
Please see the photo below:

Incase that photo doesn't work - It feels like a little dip, is not sore or in any pain, no blood & no discharge of any sort. It's about 4mm in length with a red rim and off white centre.
My last colonoscopy showed I had some active Crohn's else where.

Do we think this is a small injury to the Stoma or a Crohn's ulcer.

Any suggestion would be great, it's making me nervous.
Thank you very much!

Sounds like a small ulcer but I'm just taking a guess.

I don't see a picture, but sounds like it could be an ulcer or even where the flange is rubbing on it.

I don't see a picture either, but agree that it sounds like it could be an ulcer.

Thank you everyone, I appreciate you guys getting back to me.
Does anyone know what is done if it were to be an ulcer. Is it just left there?

I can't see a picture either. This site has descriptions and photo examples of various stoma skin problems (you may need to scroll down a bit to get to the photos):

Also no pic but agree with others that it sounds like an ulcer and should be checked out.
