linea negra

picklesx · July 2012

Has anyone's gone away yet? I am very fair skinned and have had mine pretty much since about 5 or 6 months pregnant. It doesnt seem to be making its departure any time soon. Also my belly button is all dark brown on the inside and there are little smudges of dark brown right around the outside of it. It looks pretty gross. I googled and some women said that they were able to slough theirs off believe it or not, as if it was all just dirt or something! Of course I tried this just to see haha and no luck. Its as if the pigmentation inside my belly button and down the center of my belly just decided to darken for good! Please tell me it will go away

I am fair skinned and still have mine as well. I don't think it is going anywhere anytime soon either. I have read that it could take up to 6 months to a year. My belly button is a little funky as well. I am pretty sure that this will fade in time with the linea nigra.

I am just trying to be patient. Even though I am back at work, in my normal clothes, and pretty much feeling like my normal self, I keep having to remind myself how long it really takes our bodies to adjust after pregnancy and delivery.

With DD#1 it did scrub off. With DD#2, it actually showed up after she was born and looks like it isn't going away anytime soon.

I'm olive skinned and have had one on my lower belly since puberty, but it extended up to my ribs during pregnancy. It's very slowly fading near the top but definitleey still noticeable. I don't think mine will ever go away since its been here for so long.
