Re: [SPAM] Heat Rash with DOC band

If the rash seems to be getting worse, I would take him in to see his pediatrician. Maybe the doctor could help out.

[sPAM] Heat Rash with DOC band

Has anyone had issues with heat rashes with the DOC band? My son has been in the band for 2 weeks and has developed a rash. CT said to remove the band every 2-3 hrs and wipe his head and then apply Cortaid twice a day, however, the rash seems to be getting worse and not better. I am not sure how the rash will get better without leaving off the helmet for long periods of time, but we have already seen such significant improvement in only 2 weeks and I would hate to have him not wear it...GwenSoCal- 6 month old son banded 2 weeks

I would recommend calling cranial tech and try to get back in to have

the rash looked at. If it's getting worse, it's the kind of thing

that can just continue if not allowed to heal. Depending on the

severity, they may want you to remove the band until the skin clears

up. But if you do take the band off for more than an hour, I would

certainly call and let them know. It's great that you've already

gotten such great correction! Hopefully, the rash will clear up in

no time! Good Luck.
