Re: STAPH INFECTION/ABCESS should we continue band? HELP!

[Guest guest]

how scary, glad to hear your daughter is on the mend! I agree the band is

contaminated and should not be used. so she did get antibiotics though? I am

not sure if her skin will be all cleared of the bacteria or not because if you

get a new band she will certainly sweat and possibly get abarasions. what an

unusual occurance, wonder how she got exposed, well could happen any possiblity

of ways for sure! Not sure what I would do, good luck!
