I have naturally oily skin but I'm finding that my skin is dry and flaky, especially around my incisions. Anyone else experience this?

I really love bio oil. I started using it about two weeks ago. I honestly can't believe how great it is! Someone recommended it to use for my tummy tuck incision and it's been great! I have used it for three weeks and now I use it all over my body once I get out of the shower! Huge difference in my skin. 

I bought it at Costco. (Of course, that's pretty much where I buy everything lol!)

I've always had dry skin, but now after surgery it's insane... I actually just went out to buy some facial oil (already have body oil).  I've been doing nothing but slathering myself with moisturizer and it seems like a losing battle.  Ironically the only part that isn't dry is around my incisions.

Not long after surgery, thought I was flaking like a snake.  Don't know why, but better now.

I have dermatitis, and it has become worse since surgery. Dry, patchy, itchy. It really sucks. But a small price to pay overall...
