Linea Nigra sticking around

LimaD · May 2013

So I still have a vertical line on my stomach from when I was pregnant. It's shrunken and is more faint but still there! I kind of thought it would be gone 6 months postpartum. anyone else?

Mine it still there and is still pretty dark, at least in comparison to my pasty-white, Irish skin

My mom reminded me that as the rest of my body seems to have returned to pre-baby shape so quickly, my line is my Mommy-badge and something to be proud of.

I am only 3 months pp and still have it. It is lightening a very little bit though.

I was hoping it would be gone by bathing suit season but its looking like a one-piece this summer for me. I'm just not up to showing that off...

Same here! I actually lost all the baby weight pretty quickly so I was looking forward to wearing my cute swimsuits again (since I was too pregnant to last summer). Oh well

Girls, all you have to do is rub it with a wash cloth or exfoliate and they go away! As the discolored skin dies and comes the surface, you can just rub it off.

Maybe I have a super resistant one, but this is not true at al! I have rubbed and rubbed on my skin every shower. I've used a wash cloth, a loofa, even a foot file at one point of desperation. It does not just rub off in all cases. Trust me on t his one. Right after my son was born it did lighten by scrubbing it, but that was it.
