A member asked:
I have a 1 year old son who has a splint on his right hand but his not reacting good to it ...what can i use to close the splint so that the plastic doesnt react to his skin ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cotton: A thin, 100% cotton material lining the splint is most likely going to reduce the irritation of the plastic. Next would be oral meds like cetirizine or diphenhydramine, but then you have to deal with side effects of those meds.
