The area very tight after surgery and happened immediately, not hormonal. It cont. to get scabby when I don’t put moisturizer on it everyday. I think it’s damaged skin but I don’t know how to treat it. This was a result of the tummy tuck, behaves as an ongoing skin injury, after 12 years post op. It is scabby, will sluff off a bit when highly moisturized. I want to be very careful about how I go about treating it. I’d like to know if others have been successful with exact experience?
