Hi Doctors, I am almost 8 months PO. TT w/mr and lipo. In the last two weeks or so when i wake up in the morning Ive been having a burning pulling sensation on the inside at my tt incision site. but its only on the right side. I havent had any complications or problems after sx. It feels like my skin is dry so i put coco butter to soothe the pulling feeling. This usually resolves the discomfort because it isnt painful. can you tell me what could be causing this. Thanks
