@drjoe_md: A hair tourniquet occurs when a strand of hair or thread wraps tightly around a finger, toe, or other body part, cutting off circulation and potentially leading to tissue damage. This condition most commonly affects infants, as loose hairs can easily become tangled around their small extremities. Symptoms include swelling, redness, and pain at the site of the constriction. Immediate treatment is essential, and often requires carefully removing the hair or thread, sometimes with the aid of magnification or medical intervention to prevent complications. #MomsofTikTok #newmom #pediatrics #newborn
