My 8 yo and has had molluscum Contagion as what the drs have called it. for 2.5 years they keep spreading drs say they can't help. The school is concerned. Possibly thinking about taking out of school till all healed up. It's on neck, chin, chest and groin area mostly where they sweat and will get eczema like rash around them when it's hot or if they go swimming in chlorine. Any help would be great we're at wits end. Drs won't help. But going back this afternoon to get a note for school.

Both my girls had this years ago. I was recommended Molludab on here, which did work at clearing it up. This was about 7 years ago.

Not sure why this treatment isn't recommended on the nhs website - it worked for us.

Thank you. Do you know if this is available in Australia?
Derm aid hydrocortisone .5% removed the redness from the skin but the bumps are still there.

My DD had it for over a year, dr said would go away on it own, and we tried loads!

Eventually after mn advice, we located the 'queen' which is the most prominent bump and gave it a squeeze. It literally popped out like a little pearl, and then the whole body cleared up!

Apparently it's so mild the body doesn't realise it's there but popping the queen makes the body send the necessary signals to get rid!
