Bruised like mark near belly button..
So I’ve popped a photo below but since I was in the second trimester I had this mark appear after I took my belly bar out, I’m now 3 weeks postpartum and it still looks like this? Anyone know what it could be or experienced this?

Its literally a stretch mark from your bellybutton stretching so rapidly! @Morgan had great methods to heal the scarring!
Thanks ladies 🫶🏻
I have this it’s only just starting to fade 5 months pp
I got the same thing during pregnancy and I’m 9 weeks pp, but it still hasn’t gone! I’m hoping in time it will fade. I’ll try to exfoliate it everyday like @Morgan & see what happens.

This happened when I had my little boy - I didn’t even have it pierced beforehand so I was really confused. I think skin discolouration is normal in pregnancy and my theory was that because my belly button has been so stretched out I just hadn’t noticed it! I just exfoliated my belly button gently each day with a little cloth and kept moisturising it and it did go away after a few weeks!
