Re: What's considered breakdown of skin?

I would leave the band off, it won't hurt to be on the safe side.

red/pink when we first remove the band but always go down to normal skin tone

within an hour)are really ashy & flaking off lots of skin. Is this okay? I'm

scared to put it back on her tonight. I wish there was a 24/7 Cranial Tech

hotline or something for when things like this come up! Help, please!

Our daughter had a similar issue every few days or so. Our orthosist suggested

putting hydrocortisone cream on the ashy/red areas. This worked great, cleared

it right up. Check with your doc before using, though, if your little one is

less than 3 months.
