Peeling skin?

The skin on my stomach has been peeling-as if I had a bad sunburn, but without the redness- for about 2 weeks now. I am 8 weeks pp. I put lotion and oil on twice a day and it isn't helping. Is anyone else experiencing this? I don't remember this with my first two kids!

    Perhaps it's a reaction to something you've been applying or something you've ingested? Or could just be a change in hormones!

    I would definitely call the doctor about that. But to me (and my non-med school trained mind) it sounds like an allergic reaction to something you're putting on there.

    I agree with Jenny. I've never had that or heard of it before. I doubt it's anything really bad, but my guess is that it should be evaluated by a doctor.

    Blast. I don't think it is an allergy- I started using lotion AFTER I noticed the peeling. Hmm, I guess I will call. Thanks!
