Q: Mystery Scratches

asked by: jenniek on August 1st, 2007

Active User, very eHealthy

A few months ago Brayden has a scratch on the back of his ankle and no one could figure out where it came from. It even left a scar! Today I just noticed a similar scratch on the other ankle. I think its from his socks but I'm not sure. Has anyone else had this problem with socks? I'm just trying to figure out where they are coming from but I have no idea!

i have never heard of that but it could be, maybe get some looser fitting socks if his socks are tight aroudn the ankle that could be causing it.

i don't really see how socks could scratch a baby. does he always have socks on? does he play with his feet without socks? maybe he just had a sharp nail and did it while playing with his feet.

i always think i keep finn's nailed trimmed, but there have been a few times when i've noticed a big scratch down the back of his ear.
