Does shinyness mean blistering?

[Guest guest]

got his band on Monday. One spot was very red so we brought

him a few days ago. She shaved it, and put a soft adhesive tape thing

on it. When we got home and checked it it was even more red. I took

the tape thing off to give it more room and today it looks ok after

him wearing it 4 hours. The only question I have is it is not really

red, but it is a little shiny. Could that be the start of a blister?

I was going to let him wear it all night tonight since it isn't

really red anymore, but if he wears it 12 hours straight and develops

a blister then he probably won't be able to wear it for a while. What

do you think? I don't see any blister, but it is shiny. Thanks.

We were told by our OT to be very observant to any " shiny " red

spots. He said that means it is rubbing too much and needs to be

adjusted. I would definately call your OT back and let them know asap

so it does not get worse or leave permanent marks.

has a spot that is red and a little shiny too. I called the

orthodist and he said just to watch for a change in skin condition

(is the skin surface any different from the rest?) but now that

another day has gone by, it looks like it might be a blister

forming. He didn't even wear it last night because he wound up with

a fever. And it doesn't seem to be bothering him today. I wonder

if you put a little piece of medical tape (the kind that is not that

sticky but it is really thin) on the spot to avoid a blister?

Hi there

I'm late in responding, so I will just ask how it went. Did you go

back for an adjustment again? Shinyness can usually go either way.

be ok, or blister. If you have this issue again I would probably

call the, or leave the band off for a while till the skin is healthy

again.

I have kept the band off since yesterday. It didn't blister, but

stayed red for a really long time. Now he has 2 other very red spots

that stay red for about 10 hours. Tomorrow I have a CT appointment. I

am so mad I didn;t take pictures of the red spots for them to see

exactly where they are since he won't have the band on when I take

him. Oh well. Thanks everyone for responding.
