A healthy stoma should be moist and pinkish-red in color. A stoma that appears dry and grey indicates poor circulation or necrosis, which requires immediate attention. Skin irritation around the stoma site could indicate an improper fit of the ostomy appliance or an allergic reaction, both of which need to be addressed to prevent further skin breakdown.
