How To Get Rid Of A Post Pregnancy Dark Line On My Tummy?
I had a c-section 2 weeks ago. During pregnancy there appeared a dark line starting from my navel down. Now it’s still there, looking even darker. I do care of my skin, but when it is supposed to disappear? Any advice how I can help it go off?

It will disappear after a few months. I had a baby a year ago and mine is gone. It took kie 4 months i think!!!

It’ll fade over time…a few months maybe? I had it with my first and it’s been 8+ years so I’ve forgotten exactly how long, but it will fade.

I developed a dark line on my upper lip during pregancy(how embarrassing) It will fade in time. Try Esoterica for age spots.

it will disappear on its own but if you can’t wait, you can use oil, cotton and soap..

be prepared my dear, it may fade with time, but it probably won’t ever go away……the line has to do with the hormones in your body from being pregnant; once it is there, it’s there. you might consult a dermatologist though, they may be able to do some type of laser therapy……..they can remove tattoos now, so it might be worth checking into………personally, if i were you, i wouldn’t worry about it. this is something that happened to you out of the love that you and your significant other shared. you have a beautiful baby, this line is a natural part of life, cherish it.

you can try cocoa butter . i had a c section and mines went a way on its own. that line will always be there . thats the line the doctors go by when they do a c -section ( that goes up and down ). but it does go away in time .

It fades on its own. Don’t stress.

Give it time! Nothing you can do for it. It will leave on its own, nothing you can do!

It will probably go away once your body rids itself of some of those nasty pregnancy hormones you still have floating around. The hormones can do a number on our bodies. I would give it until at least 6 weeks post partum, more than that if you are breastfeeding.

it will fade with time. theres really nothing you can do to make it go away faster. Within a few months it should be gone.
