Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hey guys; I know there's been a lot of questions about fluid pockets forming with the DOCbands, but all the ones I've found have been them forming either at the top where the whole is, or at the opening at the ear. Trey has a little fluid pocket forming on his forehead, one the side of the forehead that sticks out further, as well as minor skin breakdown happening at the same site. He has a fitting tomorrow, so I'm thinking I should leave the band off until tomorrow, but what do you guys think? Is it even something to worry about? Confused Thanks Cristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi Cristi If you guys have the adjustment tomorrow I would leave the band off. You will do less harm with it off tonight than leaving it on, and causing skin breakdown. It sounds like this could be a forming blister? Is there a redspot when you take it off at all? Let us know how the adjustment goes, and what they say about the area. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi Cristi, If you think it looks like " minor skin breakdown " is happening, definitely leave it off and maybe put some neosporin or something on it. Hopefully it will heal quickly and won't get worse. If you leave it on and it does breakdown, you're looking at probably a week at least out of the band, so it's definitely worth the precaution. Maybe he needs adjustments a little more frequently if he's growing so quickly. Let us know what happens tomorrow! , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma --- In Plagiocephaly , " Cristi " <naive_angel@h...> wrote: > Hey guys; > I know there's been a lot of questions about fluid pockets forming > with the DOCbands, but all the ones I've found have been them > forming either at the top where the whole is, or at the opening at > the ear.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hi Cristi- My son, just had that last week. I was concerned because it seemed like his head was going to grow out of the top of the band opening. The Orthotist did a fitting in the area and his head looks so much better. I would go to the Ortho for another fitting.
