Dry boobies...

I took my bra off to have a shower just now and noticed all round my nipple area is really soft but dry and flaky looking! Has anyone else got this? Shall i just use coco butter on it? But i cant put in near the insicions can i? xx

Hey Pammie, its where the skin had Been stretched. It causes the skin to dry a little. Use vitamin E cream or coco butter but like you say stay away from scars xx

It's quite common Pammie, a good moisturiser kept well away from your incisions should do the trick.

Your avi looks great by the way! Flash

Right now your incisions are still fresh so are at risk of getting an infection until you get the all clear from the nurse (generally 6 weeks) so do avoid putting anything near them... as much as flaky skin might be a pain in the bum and infection is much worse xx

You are fine to put moisturiser on them but you have to keep well away from the incisions xx

I experienced the same and thought the lack of showering didnt help help as your bodywash has moisturisers in them too and going without that for 14 days makes it worse!!!

Thanks kay, will do now before i go to bed :) x

I'd deffo recommend Bio Oil or a Vit E cream (obvs keep away from incisions) but it helps with dryness and will stop stretchmarks developing too. My one regret is that I was a bit lax when it came to moisturising so got a few purple lines.
