Anyone have problems with burns resulting from irritation of the helmet?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had any issue with extreme redness/puss/ " burns " on their childs head

from the band?

My son (6 months) is on day 5 with his doc band and up until now has not had any

problems other than some very mild redness that has gone away within

30-40minutes of having the band off. Last night I took it off to give my son a

bath and both of his sideburns and the back of his head (bottom) were bright red

and smelled awful! It literally looked like he had an been badly burned. I

then realized that one of his sideburns had been pussing (which was noticeable

on his head and the inside of the band). I left the band off all night and its

still red this morning (a little less but still red).

I plan on going in to CT first thing on Monday and leaving the band off until

then but I am wondering if anyone else has had any similar issues with their

bands and what the outcome was. Any help or advise would be much appreciated as

we want to get the band back on ASAP!!!!
