Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 My son has a spot on his forehead that is always red and does not even completely fade in his hour off. THe skin there has been peely since he was banded 5 weeks ago. The first week it was very red, but after the first adjustment it was better. It's what they consider a good red spot, making good contact but not too tight. During his hour off it does fade some, but never completely goes away. Here is a pic of it at the END of his hour off (after a tub and everything): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/hannahsmom/DSC_4253.jpg When it gets really peely I do put a tiny bit of hydrocortisone cream on it. I hope Kaden's spot is better and not a concern anymore! If you are still concerned, make sure you get the ortho to fix it! , mom to Hannah (4yrs,DOCgrad) and Jack (5mos,DOCbanded 4/17) Cape Cod, Ma http://hannahsnoggin.typepad.com > > It's probably contact dermatitis.
