Anyone else have hypersensitive skin?

By Puggymom on 28 Nov 2011

I'm 15 weeks post tummy tuck and my skin on my stomach is driving me crazy. It's my skin above my belly button to my bra line. It HATES any sensation against it. Its hypersensitive.  I've been wearing stretchy tanks that have a bit of compression as it at least stops anything from brushing against it.  Now I have a rash from wearing them so much.  I found out that Bio Oil on a stomach rash is not a good combo. I'm hoping it goes away soon.  It's weird that I don't have it anywhere else like this area.  I'm thankful for that.  Maybe its just because the other areas are pretty numb. Anyone else have this and did it go away?

I'm only 3 weeks PO TT, I feel like I have a sunburn! Has this gone away for you?

I am at 8 weeks and sensation is normalizing but still not normal. I also had a BB hernia repair at the same time and that is the worst area. Also have lots of swelling what about you?

Thank you Gandil6 & Heathpt for the replies. Yes, it is lessening but still there. Working on wearing "normal" clothes as I'm sick of not trying on regular non-stretchy clothes. It is worse at night but is IS improving. I'm 20 weeks now. Swelling is much better too. Night again is the worst for swelling but it isn't anything like it was in the beginning. No supertight awful feeling. Hope you continue to heal & feel great!

I'm 4 wks po and I'm still having weird sensitivity on my tummy. Certain material just does not feel good nor skin to skin contact. I don't know if it's still somewhat numb or what it is. I hope it's just temp and will eventually go away.

Yes LadyDiamond totally normal. I am now at 9 weeks and sensation getting better. Not normal yet but better. My BB was the worst area. Swelling still improving but I think will be around for a while longer.
