I have had it several times, usually once a year. I have crohns disease and have an illeostomy. The sore shows up under my "pouch" next to my stoma, so it really is a pain to care for. Steroid shots in the sore and protopic ointment has usually helped. It is important to go to the Dr as soon as the sore starts appearing.
