My son wore them everyday for his first 5 or 6 years, and they did irritate and tear the skin around his eye, especially when he was a baby. <br /><br />His doctor told me of some skin wipes to protect the skin. We bought them at a medical supply house. The primary use is for people with ileostomies. You wipe it on, and give it a few seconds to dry. Then you put the patch on top. Later, when you peel the patch off, it doesn't irritate the skin. I can't remember if it made broken skin sting, but I don't think so. (I think I would have remembered that) I do remember it had a very distinct, sharp odor while it dried that might bother Calvin. Once it was dry, though, there was no odor. <br /><br />I wish I could remember the name. In my mind I can see the little green packet each wipe came in, but I cannot read the label.<br /><br />RR JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
