Donjoy ACL brace–skin problems?
Jessica asked:
I tore my ACL and I am now in this DonJoy custom ACL brace (it’s the one that linemen wear with the hinge, next time you watch football check it out.) Anyway, I am breaking out with pimples and it’s rubbing my skin raw. Does anyone else wear one and get these problems, and if so, any ideas on how to appease it? I treat the pimples with alcohol when I take it off and put some lotion on the dry skin but it’s not working well–any suggestions?

You can contact DonJoy themselves in Vista California. They have a customer service staff that is very helpful Charlie
Don’t know if this will help.
You may find that you can put something between your skin and the brace like cotton (t-shirt material)…or some other soft material.
I’m sorry to hear you are having this issue. I hope it gets better.:) E G
