Just shy of 14 months out, finally in my sweet spot and losing PRAISE THE LORD!!! I'm at the lowest weight I've been since having surgery and shrinking...lt's been 2 months since my last fill - lol had to remember I'm not catholic , this was starting to feel like confession lol.. anyways.. as I lose and my body is shrinking... my skin is so ITCHY, mostly at my incision sites. I use cocoa butter and coconut oil on a daily basis and stay hydrated so it's not dry skin.. it's all weight loss related.. like the skin that's used to being covered is now being exposed to air or something.. but the incision sites, the incision sites are something else completely. Maybe it's because 1 of them has keloided - oh the joy of being mixed lol.. but they are just ugh.. I can't even explain it.. is anyone else experiencing this? There's no rash/infection etc.. it's just ITCHY!

This is so funny that you are saying these things, because one of my incisions is keloided as well and it itches at times like crazy. I was reminded by my doc it was a sign of healing. I surely thought all of my incisions sites had healed by now. However, he explained that the inside of your body heals at a different rate than the out side. He stated every thing looked good and I continue to use Palmers coco butter to enhance the elasticity of my skin.
