Spica Cast Itch- Frequently Asked Questions

Spica cast itch is caused by the bacterium that is growing in the lining of your spica cast. While spica cast itch is difficult to eliminate, spica cast itch does not need to be tolerated.
What Causes Spica Cast Itch: This moist lining in a primary cause of spica cast itch as this moisture causes rapid and continued growth of bacteria. The CastCooler may be used to reduce spica cast itch by eliminating the moisture in the lining of your spica cast, the primary cause of spica cast itch. Use the CastCooler daily or whenever necessary to significantly reduce spica cast itch.
What Can be Done About Spica Cast Itch: Assuming your spica cast has a typically cotton or synthetic lining (as opposed to a washable cast lining), you should attempt to keep your spica cast and lining dry at all times. This is an effective means of reducing spica cast itch. If the cast lining becomes wet, spica cast itch will increase.

Skin maceration occurs when the skin is continually wet or moist. One sign of skin infection or skin maceration can be acute spica cast itch.
