Re: Heat rash vs red pressure spot

[Guest guest]

Did the redness fade? If it did, I'd put the DOC Band back on. If it did not,

it's best for it to be off this weekend until you can call CT on Monday. Losing

a day or two is better than losing more time if there is skin issues.

My son's skin is very sensitive, too. I hope all is OK with yours.

is still red the area had gone down slightly in size. I don't know what to do.

Of course it's the weekend and there is no one at ct to call and ask. My son has

very sensative skin. His band had been off since 7:00 last night. Any help would

be great. Thank you.

Some babies get raised lymph nodes. It doesn't sound like heat rash. If you do

put the band back on (if it has faded enough) do frequent checks to make sure it

doesn't flare up. The safest thing is always to leave it off until you can get

it checked. Don't worry about missing a day or two.
