If he sleeps with his hand against the headboard every night it would seem the reaction should happen every night. It could be that there’s a rough spot he only hits occasionally and that’s causing some type of irritation. That could be the banana leaves, the shellac, dust, pollen, etc. getting in the skin due to a scratch from a rough spot. Since it’s so infrequent, there’s probably no real way to know the cause. Maybe try putting a small pillow or something between his hand and the headboard to prevent the problem.
