So......
I noticed after my lymphatic massage earlier this week that my tummy was kinda peeling. It wasn't dry though. Just peeling.

And I had another one today and the same thing happened - peeling skin on the tummy .

What is this from? Is it normal? Is it skin that was just so swollen it stretched beyond the max? It doesn't itch or hurt - I was just curious and didn't think it was serious enough to warrent harrassing my surgeon on a weekend!

Is it from the glue around the incisions by chance? I had some very dry areas around my thigh incisions a couple of weeks back. I can't remember if I had that on my tummy though.

No, its more on the most swollen areas that its doing that. It's soft peeling - not like rough or anything. Weird. I got some palmers cocoa butterand will see if that can take care of it. Just keeping it away from the actual incisions.
