Puss? Infection?

[Ataraxia]

I've noticed the past couple of days when I've come to change my stoma that I'm also getting a leak of puss. Sounds disgusting, but is this normal?

it could be innocent if you have an infection such as a cold or chest infection.. but in absence of those, i would say no - its not normal.

do you still have active Crohns that you know of?

if this is a new symptom, it's worth telling your doctor. hope it clears up soon!

Well I don't have a cold or anything. And I don't have active Crohn's that I know of. Hmmm, now I'm a little worried...

sorry didnt mean to worry you.. but if it truly is pus, then it's coming from some sort of infection/inflammation site. could be something tiny and simple which your body will heal on its own...

but my theory is.. if any new symptoms start up, no matter what they are, i always check them out with a doctor. its best to know what it is, than not to know and worry about it, which can only make us feel worse.
