New Belly Flakiness

[Guest guest]

I have been meaning to ask about this: since my Belt Lip in Sept my new

belly has been very itchy (which I assume has something to do with nerve

regeneration too?) and it has gotten flakey and dry. So lately I've been

schmearing

some cocoa butter on it and that seems to help. Have others experienced this

new belly skin flakiness too?
