Re: Confused at what to do?!

[Guest guest]

My son had a Hanger helmet and they told us to also start him gradually and

watch for red spots. He did get one and they adjusted it, shaved it down. No

issues after that.

and his condition is very minor. I noticed that his ears are off and that is why

I want to go through with the helmet. With my first son they kept telling me it

would just round out. It never did and we waited too long and the helmet didn't

work. Now I noticed that the target area was causing red marks on his skin. I'm

thinking that means it is too tight. I put lipstick on his skim and then it went

onto the helmet. I called and they said they will have to shave it. My husband

doesn't think the helmet is right. Has this happen to anyone else? Should the

helmet already need shaving??? Is this a bad sign?

My daughter had the red marks too. The ortho said that's normal.

The ortho recommended putting Aquafor on the spots.
