Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hi, My DS wears Dr. Dobb's brace for 14 hours overnight. Recently we noticed that the sides of his feet are bright red and very dry. We have been putting tons of Eucerin cream on his feet but nothing has changed. We are starting to believe that he may have athletes foot? I'm curious if anybody else has experienced this...If so what did you do to clear it up and prevent it? I was thinking that this is possibly due to the sweating that occurs when the braces are on. We can't change his socks because we'd have to wake him in the middle of the night and this wouldn't be good Once the redness issue is gone, I think we might use a diaper rash ointment on his feet to prevent this from happening again. I don't know if this is a bad idea or not. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!
