Subject: he's probably saying no hair tourniquet in GU exam
It is pretty bad. When my little baby was only a couple of months old, I took off his tiny sock and, to my horror, a piece of hair was wrapped so tight around his teeny little toe that it had swollen and turned purple-red. I so almost panicked. I painstakingly removed it, which was no easy task, and vowed to be ever so more careful that it never happened again...
So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??

I looked up "hair tourniquet" to find that it affects mostly infants, a hair wrapped tightly around an extremity or the external genitalia causing extreme discomfort. I've got a rambling dictator who states things in no particular order. Does anyone have an opinion on where this is most properly put?
