Re: Skin irritation

[Guest guest]

Thanks! I'm going to note it for future reference. The red spot

this past time was due to growth. For the cleaning, he told me that

I should probably just clean it with alcohol once per day and use

water the other times. He also added that when I do use the alcohol,

I should also use water to rinse it (on a cloth) because Paige's skin

seems to be sensitive). I'll try to post an update from her

appointment a little later as I can only stay online for a few

minutes this morning. Have to run for now! I'll get in to read the

other posts a bit later.
