Has anyone been able to make more supple/soften injection sites around the tummy with maybe a moisturiser? Or is there nothing that can be done. Son been rotating for years but now sites are getting tougher.

Bum and bottom of the back are also good alternative sites if he’s not using them at the moment, my thighs are getting too slender now. My tummy is hit and miss with bumps after injections as I’ve shrunk around my belly As well since going low carb.
