Re: 2 Weeks in Helmet Red Spots!-Carol

[Guest guest]

,

When you tell me it has almost a crausty feeling to it, that sounds

like she had heat rash as a result of her growth. As long as the band

is not rubbing it, it should do fine and will go away in a day or so.

You will have to keep an eye on her sweating and wipe the band and

head a couple times a day if possible. Dominick is a really sweaty

baby and we have to watch him closely for heat rash. If it comes back

call the ortho and tell that it may be heat rash, and they will tell

you what to do. We used the cortisone twice a day, but as soon as it

is dry feeling the band goes back on.
