Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 ACK!!! I spoke too soon. I'm ready to scream. I took 's band off for her 1 hour. There was a red spot on the right side of her forehead. I thought it was fine b/c she always has a red spot there and it always goes away in under an hour. NOT the case tonight. It's still almost 3 hours later!! It looks weird too...the only way I can describe it, is to say that the red spot kind of looks like elephant skin? Does that make any sense?? Has this happened to anyone else? When I was at CT last Wednesday,Wanda told me they were booked solid next Wednesday. Does that mean they won't be able to see tomorrow? I'd hate for her to be out of her band until Thursday. This is crazy, one day no spots at all,the next day spots! Is this " normal " ?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Hi , You definetly want to keep the band off until you can get an adjustment if the red mark is still there 3 hours later. CT should be able to squeeze you in hopefully, I know they are probably just as concerned as you are in keeping the band off until Thursday. Give them a call this morning and let them know your concerned. It could be that had a growth spurt and it just needs an adjustment. If you leave it on with that red mark, the skin can breakdown with wear and then you'll have a sore to deal with- I don't know if you mean elephant skin is like dry- but you can put some cortisone on that and make sure you get that taken care of asap. Keep us posted on what CT says! ' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Gosh : That does sound strange. Like you said, one day she's doing great in it, then the next horrible red spots! Have you explained this all to CT? I would imagine they could squeeze you guys in for a much earlier appt than next week. It definitely sounds like some adjustments need to be made. Sorry!
