O'Keefe's Working Hands - Effective Lotion for Stoma Skin

Topic Explanation:
The initial post discusses the effectiveness of O'Keefe's Working Hands lotion for irritated skin around a stoma. The user shares their positive experience with the product, highlighting its non-greasy texture, improved skin condition, and increased adhesion of the stoma barrier.

Advice and Insights:
- O'Keefe's Working Hands lotion is effective for improving skin condition around the stoma and increasing the adhesion of the stoma barrier.
- The lotion dries completely and does not leave the skin oily or greasy.
- It is recommended to apply a small amount of the lotion and ensure it is dry before applying the stoma barrier.
- The product is available in both jars and squeeze tubes, with the tube being a more cost-effective option.
- It is advised not to intentionally put the lotion directly on the stoma, although small amounts inadvertently touching the stoma have not caused issues for some users.

Helpful Insights:
- The difference between the cream and lotion versions of O'Keefe's Working Hands is minimal, with both being highly moisturizing and unscented.
