Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 My seven month old daughter, Gracie, has been in her Hanger helmet for two months. The first month she had no red marks, and I thought the process was going to be " smooth sailin' " . For the last month, though, she has developed a heat rash in various places (mostly the holding spots) on her head. I am getting pretty discouraged because she was making alot of progress in the beginning, and I don't want to lose ground, or give up, because of a rash. Obviously, she is not wearing the helmet during flare ups (which is most of the time right now). Hanger is working with us to do whatever can be done. I am wondering if anyone else (no matter what type of band) has experienced severe heat rash. When I say severe, I mean a bubbly, oozy, itchy, and all around yucky mess (sorry to be so graphic). My pediatrician said Gracie's head needs to " breathe " more. We have been using methods to help it heal, but it comes right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 could she be allergic to the band and it took a while to react? I haven't heard of heat rash being this bad. some babies are allergic. from what it seems like here babies are allergic to starband more than doc,but I don't remember any babies allergic to hanger. It probably does happen though,since I imagine the materials are the same or similar. -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > My seven month old daughter, Gracie, has been in her Hanger helmet for > two months.
