Thank you for your help. I am trying to firm up my stool with the same OTC meds. How long does it take to heal from surgery? I am 6 weeks out and it still looks raw. My skin is suffering the most….still looking for an osteomyelitis nurse here.

I don't know what you mean by heal. It took my Stoma about 2 Months to shrink down to proper size. The Stoma should be reddish/pink in color. If your skin looks raw around the Stoma you need to see a Dr, Stoma Nurse, or Wound Care Dr immediately. I can't emphasize this enough. Don't mess around with this.
