Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Welcome Peggy- Does the rash disappear rather quickly, within 15-20 minutes, after removing the helmet? It sounds like heat rash, which should subside once his body fully adjusts to the extra heat of the helmet. It wouldn't hurt to ask your ortho about it though, just to be sure. Hydrocortisone cream can be used to treat it if it is heat rash, but my son's would go away so quickly that I never even used it. What kind of helmet do you have? My son just graduated from the DOCBand. He had two and began wearing his first one at 17 months old. We saw great improvement throughout his head shape, but primarily in his forehead bossing, which really made me happy (it was pretty severe to start with). It is slower going for older babies, but you should still see improvement, it's just hard to say how much for sure. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi Peggy, I read your post and thought I would write because I was sent to cranial solutions too! How is your son doing with his helmet besides the heat rash? We are supposed to get our helmet next week. If you are from the area and want to chat or meet up let me know! I hope the rash goes away soon!!!! > From: peggypooh29 <peggypooh29@...> > Subject: Re: Rash & Advice... > Plagiocephaly > Date: Thursday, October 2, 2008, 2:27 PM > Hello, > It does seem to be a heat rash, I took the helmet off and > it did went > away. > I'm not sure what kind of helmet he has, however its on > this website > http://www.cranialsolutions.com Thanks > > > > > > > > > Hello Everyone, > > > My son finally got his helmet last Thursday. > He is now 18 > > months > > > old.I am wondering if anyone has problems with > rashes, sean has > a > > rash > > > around on his forehead and by his ears.
