Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 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?
