Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 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.
