Necrotizing fasciitis of the stoma is an exceedingly rare but life‐threatening complication. The patient will have erythematous, edematous, and tender skin with bullae. The lesion will rapidly expand, and the patient will look toxic. Similar to all infections, those patients with poor wound healing, diabetes, and malnutrition are at greatest risk. Necrotizing fasciitis is a surgical emergency that requires immediate surgical evaluation, wound debridement, and intravenous antibiotic treatment.
