Hey guys, I have really dry skin on my tummy at the moment, it's in the area I inject so am I still ok to use body lotion on it? x
 
The short answer is yes. The longer answer is yes, but not straight after the lotion, it might clog the needle.

And it’s not a silly question! 🙂

Cheers Mike 🙂 I've just done my injection about 10 minutes ago, so say I apply body lotion to the area in an hour or so it will be fine by when I inject around the same time tomorrow night? Sorry 😳 xx
