Re: Grabbing at back of head like it hurts...

[Guest guest]

Hi there

I've already replied to this topic- I kind of assumed it was because

the band is itchy or sweaty underneath, it's like wearing a plastic

helmet all the time in the heat! My daughter used to bother her band

in exactly the same place, not distressed, just swiping at it, and I

used to often find if I took it off she was getting a little sweaty

and needed the air on her head for a while. I also think Carol's

point is a good one, excess alcohol use can irritate the skin

without it actually looking irritated. I used to take the bothering

as a sign to take the helmet off, have a good air, make sure the

hair was dry and replace it in a cool environment and this seemed to

make the behaviour stop. Imagine wearing a plaster cast in the heat-

it would be pretty itchy even if there wasn't actually a rash

underneath.

That was my theory anyway and it seemed to go away when Lucia was

kept very cool and her head allowed to air more.

Good luck
