Dry red patches from DOC band

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

Reagan has been in her band for one week and has had zero issues or

reds pots. Monday morning I took her band off to do her tort

stretches and she had two really large and dark red spots on her

forehead/side burn areas. They have turned super dry and flaky. The

ladies at CT said to leave the band off until the spots are gone and

they put a mole skin patch in her band.

Any of you had this? I'm not sure why this happened after a week of

no issues. Any ideas? Or suggestions to keep this from happening

again?

Thanks!

We had something similar--except it was an open sore with yellow pus.

We actually just took his band off and left if off for about 5 days

until it scabbed and most of it fell off. We did not apply any creams

or ointments, just kept it clean and dry. We also got the band

adjusted b/c the fit was a little off. I have never heard of a mole

skin patch--we go to CT also in San Diego.

My son had big red patches that turned flaky as well. my ortho recommended hydrocortozone (sp?) cream. we actually never tried it, because we noticed that if we just cut baths down it went away. also, i would ask your ortho about the mole skin-mine did not recommend using it, although i have seen that many people do.
