                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you everyone.  To anyone new here, including  your medical support team is a vital part of being successful, living well, with your ostomy. It means that if your simple question needs the alarm to sound it can be done so much sooner.  Ostomy nurses are something I have had very little contact with, distance and nursing a dieing husband did not allow for issues to be solved with the help of a nurse, but they were solved. Ostomy nurses do play a vital part in your recovery and success. Ostomy nurses see more stomas and skin issues then your local GP long after the original surgery for one. It is good to see your family doctor on a regular basis also. But how often does your GP see a stoma. My GP of ten years has never seen mine. So, based on what I know and my experiences I would have suggested the same thing to anyone. I will certainly get these little things checked out as soon as I can stuff my toes back in my shoe.  Aside from having the big malformed toe nail removed, I managed to break my middle toe on the same foot. I will keep you up to date as soon as I know anything about my little bumps, had this topic not come up I may well have ignored them longer. I do know better then this, so, better safe then sorry. :Z! </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Linda,</p><p>Also, it might be worth taking some photographs of the little bumps, especially since you have noted some changes. If you have an I phone or something this would be simple. Just take one a week or however many it would take to document whats going on.</p><p>Then when you get to a doctor you can show them. It is worth getting it checked out.</p><p>I got good help once from a dermatologist, but start with anyone even a nurse or your primary care person. They would refer you to someone else if they don't know.</p><p>Let us know. Thanks.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John...Thank you for that info. I have to ask,  and I wish my eyes were good enough at this time to read for myself,  but what is this granuloma made of? Are they all different?  I have neither an ill fitting pouch or infection, and oddly enough, my little bumps have gotten larger this past week. I have been watching them for several months as they have been changing. They have been there for 8 years I figure, and do not cause any issues at this time. The colour of them is just as the rest of my skin in that area.  I am, for obvious reasons curious about these little devils. </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Hi Linda, A granuloma can appear any where on the body, it does not only affect Ostomy patients. With a stoma they are at the very edge and can grow quickly. Reason can be infection or a poorly fitting wafer. With me I have no clue why as none of the reasons apply. I have always had a small flap of skin at the stoma site and that’s where the trouble started. Treatments where not working that’s why I decided to have them removed although there is always a chance they can return. Any one using silver nitrate and not knowing what they are doing will cause more harm. </p></blockquote>]]></content:encoded>

Is this something I should have looked at?  John, I m glad you are home and I hope this thing does not come back to greet you again. There was a lot of talk about silver nitrate. I know what it is and what it does, but is this how they treat a granuloma?</p>]]></content:encoded>
