I have a terrible scars/rash on my stomach from over use of hot water bottle, had the currage to make a doctor's app today and it didn't go well, my scars are permanant all over my belly, I've been advised to never use a hot water bottle again, I stress to any young lady please don't use one, I was so fortunit to have 4 amazing kids without any stretch marks on the front of my stomache and now I'm left with an even worse horrible looking scar from a hot water bottle, makes me feel very low at this time x

I’ve had a small scar like that from the sticky heat pads. Noticed it looked odd lower belly but noticed it more when I put some fake tan on. That must be what it is with me.

I’ve had a friend that hot water bottle burst and she was hospitalised and had skin grafts. They say to not put boiling water from kettle. Crazy what can happen x

Mine did fade, I do use a cheap version of bio oil on them now and am 28weeks pregnant. I still have some slight marks but nothing to the extent of what I had xx

I had burnt my stomach so badly with my hot water bottle that when I went in for my lap I was told I should have seen a doctor about it. Mine did fade with use of Bio Oil and now you can't see them at all. They took a year or two to go though.
