Hello friends, I have had a urostomy for 5 years and I have a question. I don't know if this is a stupid question and I feel foolish for asking, but how do you guys keep the hair removed from around the stoma? I try to keep this area shaved, but I'm afraid to get too close to the stoma. I thought about using clippers, but I can't stand looking at it for too long. Please forgive me if I have bothered you with this. I just thought if anybody would know, it would be this group. Thank you for your time.
