LOOSE SKIN, help?!?!

spidermomma · 22/05/2021 20:09

Long story short, I don't have stretchy skin so 3 kids later and a gazillion stretch marks. Kids have ruined my belly!
This isn't my issue as I'd let that happen any day for to have my baby's but the issue is, I lost all my baby weight so it's not literally sagging skin :( isn't nice to look at but hey, it is quite bad as I'm now loosing more weight so I have a "fold"
I am very very clean and hygienic and I'm a size 10/12 if this helps. But I keep getting sores in the fold or skin and is so painful, I shower morning and night and I am very careful with what I use and never change anything product wise
I don't know why this is happening but OUCH

Any advice as I don't see what going to a doctor will do and I can't afford or physically have a tummy tuck right now ??
So embarrassed to post this but It isn't a playground brought up chat ! Haha
HELP!!!

If you would like a tummy tuck, I would go see your GP - be clear on how bad the sores are/exaggerate, and then they should put you on the (doubtless very long) NHS list.

After you have dried very thoroughly you need to do something to stop the bacteria building up. Some people find powder useful, others an antibacterial moisturiser like Dermol. Try both?

Do you need something from the pharmacist to clear this up: you could ask them for a quiet, private consultation.
Maybe some Canesten cream?
