When providing ostomy care, the skin around the ostomy should be cleaned gently using warm water and a soft washcloth or non-alcoholic wipes. It's important to avoid using soaps with lotions or oils, as these can interfere with the adhesive of the ostomy appliance. After cleaning, the area should be thoroughly dried by patting gently with a towel to ensure the appliance adheres properly.
