The eye area can become irritated or infected during patching. Keep an eye on your child’s eye area. If you see rashes or cuts around the eye, consult with your doctor or pediatrician on how to treat them. Both elastic band- and adhesive-style patches can irritate the skin around the eye and cause a slight rash. If possible, choose a hypoallergenic adhesive patch to reduce the risk of skin discomfort. Nexcare produces a line of hypoallergenic adhesive patches. Ortopad produces hypoallergenic patches in adhesive and glasses-fitting styles. You can also consult your child’s doctor for recommendations. If the skin under the adhesive part of the patch has become irritated, try covering an area around the eye that is larger than the patch with gauze. Attach the gauze to the child’s face with medical tape. Then attach the patch to the gauze. You can also try trimming away some of the adhesive part of the patch so there will be less of it touching the skin. The trick is to make sure that the normal eye is still completely covered and that the patch is secure. Since it won't come into contact with the skin, this style of patch prevents the problem of skin irritation. This could be a choice if your child has very sensitive skin. A patch that attaches to glasses can provide good coverage over the weak eye. However, you may need to attach a side panel to the glasses to prevent your child from trying to see around the patch. Wash the area around the eye with water to remove any traces of the irritant that may remain once the patch is removed. Use emollients or moisturizers on the affected area to help keep the skin moist. These will help the skin repair itself and help protect against future inflammation.  Skin creams or ointments may reduce inflammation, but it's important to follow instructions carefully and not to overuse these products. In some cases, the best treatment is to do nothing and simply allow the skin to "breathe."  Check with your physician for advice on treating your child's skin irritation.

When enamel paint dries on fabric, it bonds with the fibers and becomes much more difficult to remove. If you can't get to work on removing the paint right away, then place a damp towel on the area. This will at least keep the paint wet until you can remove it. Place the fabric on a hard surface. Gently swipe the edge of a butter knife or spoon against the fabric, going with the grain. This should pick up some of the stain. Then, blot at the paint with a clean rag to pick up any more excess. If the paint has dried, you can also use a knife's blunt edge to flake it away. Be very careful when using a blunt edge to remove paint from a fabric or you may damage the threads. If you see any loosening threads, stop right away. Smooth the fabric out on a hard surface. Place a thin board directly underneath the paint stain, so it won't soak through. Use a toothbrush to apply a coating of detergent to the stain. Let the detergent soak for 5 minutes. Then, scrub the stain gently with a toothbrush. After the stain begins to lift, wash the fabric as the tag suggests. Or, you can soak it in water for 12 hours. Mix a 50-50 solution of warm water and dish soap in a bowl. Soak up the mixture with a clean sponge and then sit this sponge on top of the stain. Lightly press the sponge against the stain until the paint begins to lift.
