Stoma area bleeds slightest amount

[summerguy2007]

and sometimes hurts a very minor amount and itches. Usually there is a small amount of blackish material to remove. No redness or infection though. I've had it since early December 2014. Does this sound like the way it should be?

Mine's been the same as yours for over a year.

Steve's oozes a little bit each day. The color is generally orange to.red to brown.

Sounds like business as usual with a PEG tube. The black stuff is just dried blood. When it gets sore or itchy or bleeds more than usual it is just your body trying to fill in the stoma. A dab of over the counter cortisone cream will take care of it, often with just one application.

It is good to still discuss this amongst ourselves but if you look closely summerguy was a troll and finally got banned, he was just pulling our leg
