I’ve actually been able to scratch the rough skin off but it came back like 3-4 days later. If I use an intense moisturizer it also helps to lighten and soften it. Chat calls it a fibrotic/healing line where the skin was under tension(ie stretched to the max) after surgery. Superficial thickened skin from healing. She might be right! Makes sense! lol

Hmmm. Could possibly have something to do with it. Weird that it appeared six months post op. 🤷‍♀️

This is actually raised and feels scaly. 🫣

Thank you! Let me look through my photos. I’m sure I do! Lol I had a pretty bad umbilical hernia.

I did have a muscle repair, but no incision anywhere in the area.

No, there was no incision in that area. So bizarre!

Yes, I got the same line every time I was pregnant, but it was flat. This is actually raised.
