Is it possible that the hydrating effect of skin cream can effect hard stool issue. began using cream and stool softened at same time. coincidence?

Coincidence: But continue using skin cream. If you have hard stools it may be useful to use anal lubrication, so you can use your cream there as well, especially for cleaning after. A high fiber diet is recommended for hard stools. There are also bulk laxatives and stool softeners.
