Since having my surgery and gaining "Maxine" on my side, I have noticed that my skin has become very dry. I use moisturizer on a daily basis, but it doesn't seem to help a lot. Have any of you who have had ileostomy surgery noticed this? What have you discovered to be the general reason and what has or has not worked for you? I know that hydration is very important and I do my best to stay hydrated, but there must be something more that can be done. My skin sometimes looks like I am turning into a snake! LOL! Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
