Forehead peeling and a little read after 3rd day in Doc Band

[Guest guest]

Hi, has anyone else experienced this? got his band Wednesday,

and for the first 2 days, was fine, just a little sweaty. But when I

took it off for his bath last night, his forhead was peeling and red

(but not the bright red that they told us was bad), although we kept

if off last night and it's still there.

Should we put it back on??? I really didn't want to go through the

two days of sweating again, he will be starting day care tomorrow and

I don't know if they will take if off and dry him and the band

properly and he gives us a hard time when we do it. I am also a

little worried since he won't be familier with the caregiver, he had

a nanny until Thurs when she called and said she might have Mono

(confirmed yesterday!!) So I am worried that my kids might have Mono

and I am worried about him starting daycare (2nd time, he had to stay

home because he kept getting sick and got pneumonia and was

hospitalized in November) and I am worried about the Mono, both of my

boys are getting tested tomorrow.

Anyway, I left a message for CT like they told me and don't know if I

should put the band back on until then. Have any of you experienced

this before????

Hillary:

If the spot on his head isn't super bright red, isn't bleeding, and

goes away w/i the hour off, then I wouldn't be too concerned about

it. is probably adjusting to wearing the band. Is the

forehead maybe just dry causing the peeling?

I second what Kendra suggested in her reply. Make sure the band is

good & dry before you put it back on his head.

Definitely talk with CT tomorrow and let them know of your concerns.

They might want to see him to make sure all is ok still.

Good luck with the daycare. Insist that the caregiver does

everything exactly as you tell her to do. This is so important!

Hope noone has mono, yuk!

Let us know what CT says.
