Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Try some hydrocortisone cream - we had some over the counter stuff that helped a lot with Collin's dry spots.

It is where the wave is on her helmet just off her forehead. I have been taking her helmet off (just to check) every 5 hours or so, and she goes crazy trying to scratch that area. Is there any thing I can do for her itchy head? Thanks, LouFor more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Jodi, Thanks, I hate to sound a little dumb here but is that o.k. to leave on with the helmet or do you wipe it off before putting the helmet back on? I am new to this we have only had the helmet for a week. Thanks again. Lou RE: Itchy head?

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I have used witchhazel pads (Tucks Hemorrhoid pads) to clean Georgia's scalp in past, particularly during the warmer weather. Even though his skin looks clear from the rash, if he does have sensitive skin it is probably still a little irritated, just not enough to look red. Even in the cooler weather, I can see that Georgia still sweats a little under her band. Good luck, (mom to Georgia) -----Original Message-----From: Plagiocephaly [mailto:Plagiocephaly ] On Behalf Of fortjennSent: Monday, October 24, 2005 1:50 PMPlagiocephaly Subject: itchy head?Cade's rash finally cleared up and he's been back in his starband since Saturday. However, I have noticed that when we take his helmet off in the evening for the hour, he is constantly rubbing his head like it's bothering him. (he never used to do this before) I don't see anything different on his scalp, and am only using alcohol to clean his band now. Any ideas??

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Jack did this at first but was rubbing the back of his head against stuff. He sometimes is pulling the hair around where the helmet closes. I gotta think with as sweaty as they get it gets a little itchy or a weird feeling when they have freedom. --- fortjenn <fortjenn@...> wrote: > Cade's rash finally cleared up and he's been back in > his starband since > Saturday.
