Alps Silicone Skin Lotion is a hypoallergenic skin lotion for amputees. As we all know wearing a prosthesis can lead to painful dry skin because your skin has difficulty producing enough lubrication through its oil glands. The dry skin on your residual limb has a low level of sebum and can be prone to skin sensitivity and has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture. The skin over the end of your residuum usually feels “tight” and uncomfortable after washing unless some type of prosthetic skin lotion is applied.
