Dark scaly skin from linea nigra 5 months pp

Didn't know where to put this, as I'm 5 months post partum.
I had a linea nigra in pregnancy and the skin around my belly button is still really dark and is scaly/patchy looking? Is this normal?? The line above my belly button is disappearing, just not the skin colour and texture around my belly button.
I've had a few appointments due to changes from pregnancy recently which have thankfully ended up fine, so really don't want to have to go back to the gp again 😔

Mine was like this. The dark line went all kind of flaky and it felt like I could pick it off. It goes back to normal eventually - I’m now 11months post partum and it’s totally
gone.

@Capybara6473 That's good to know! Mine's all over my very lower belly, it's so dark and patchy looking! Did you actually pick it off, or just leave it and it fell off on its own? Sounds so gross lol sorry
