Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 , Do not pour a bottle of alcohol on the band and let it soak, that is too much. Just scrub it good and let it dry and then after several hours of drying you can scrub it again. You aren't using soap or Febreze or anything like that on the band are you? These things clog the small pores and cause bacteria to grow thus causing a rash or worse an infection. I think it is good to check with the ped, he looks like he is reacting to something more than the band. Have you switched laundry detergents or fabric softeners lately. Check close because you know how they keep adding things to all the detergents now, like the downy in the Tide. Dominick would get soo bad if I changed, we use Tide regular scent with bleach and downy april fresh or nothing,lol. Good Luck and let us know what the ped says.
