to push GP to remove DD's Mollescum

DD (year 1) has them on her neck - I have tried all the conventional methods of removal with no luck.

I want her to have them frozen off.

Dr told me today that the nurse was unwilling to do this because:

i) of location and the likelihood of scarring

ii) her age and the likelihood that due to the pain she will not sit still.

I realise removal is not ideal but she touches them all the time and they are starting to spread to her face. I fear once they are on her face this is going to become a bigger issue as:

i) removal may scar and I would like to avoid scarring her face

ii) even if they are not removed they are likely to scar as she scratches at them and several on her neck have scarred so the soo ner they are done the less scarring she is going to have.

iii) she has been excluded from swimming and their is concern about her doing PE.

iv) She is extremely concious about the "spots" and tells me that lots of people in her class talk about them - this will get much worse if they pread to her face.

v) I have concerns (although not medically based) about what might happen if they spread to her mouth/eyes.

Anyway Dr has refused to deal with it saying that they are "best left well alone".

AIBU to be unsatisfied by this response and if I am not unreasonable where do I go from here?

Any thoughts?

Best thing you can do is scratch them so that her body realises that they are there and fights them off. Usually it's when they start to get infected that the immune system is trigged into fighting the virus.

Not sure freexing them would actually work?

My friend scratched her dds when she was asleep. Dd scratched hers within days of appearing as she has excema and really irritated her.

Bloody hell CarGirl, was the cat sitting on your keyboard?

Op: see if you can squeeze them out after a bath. That worked for my dds- no scarring.

I have tried 8 hour cream (along with virtually everything else!)

She has had them for about 8mths - I understand the usual cycle length is about 18mth (DS had them and they to literally vanished after a period) I am just concerned they may get so much worse before they eventually do.

The first spot she got I squeezed so her body would fight it - this doesn't appear to have happened and i) it hurt a lot and ii) has left a scar.
