So im 2 months out now and ive done well, to be honest the weight loss is better than I hoped. BUT one thing is that I know im going to have skin issues. now in my lower belly its like the fat has separated and sunk, so that its now lower on my body, i have that fat flap that hangs down just to over my pubic bone. now i wash under ther every day and use a gold bond type powder to keep it dry tc but every now and then i still get an itch and what i think maybe the start of a rash, but ive been lucky enough to keeep ahead of it.

So let me ask if anyone else dealing with skin issues, etc do you have any advice for care, thought maybe using a creme of some kind for a baby perhaps or should i just go with the powder thing etc. any ideas or thoughts?

Diaper cream worked pretty well for me before I had my tummy tuck.

Tea tree cream or ointment will keep anything from starting in the folds

I use generic athletes foot cream from Walmart...heals me up over night.

Thank you all so much I know its not the most pleasant of subjects, but i truly appreciate the advice.

I got a prescription powder called Nystatin. Works great!

I'm prone to "Boils" around the sides of my bottom bra strap top of rib area, and also now that I am loosing weight, I too have that hanging skin problem that flares up occasionally with a potential rash..but more so...I am getting a boil every now and again in that area...is anyone else prone to boils?

Are boils caused by eating the wrong foods, I shower everyday...I heard they are caused by an ingrown hair..but as often as I get them..doesn't make sense.

Input?

Yeah I've been using coco-butter oil and moisturizing lotions to keep down on rashes and other skin issues. I have notice that the bottom of my feet are like extremely dry and cracking. So I've moved to a medicated moisturizing cream on my feet. The oil just isn't doing the job down there. Good luck to you.
