Re: New to Group - DocBand Question & Trouble Sleeping

July 30, 2006

Hi ,

I don't think that skin pealing off is normal, unless its cradle cap

where its sort of flaky but not really skin that is pealing. If its

skin pealing I think you need an adjustment because it is rubbing too

much. red spots are okay if they fade within an hour, but if the skin

is broken I think you might need to take the band off and wait until

you can see someone. Maybe for now just check it more frequently and

if it is getting worse there is a problem. If the cream is helping

maybe it will be getting better.

let me know what you find out.
