Molluscum contagiosum treatment that worked

Back in January I posted that my DD had just been diagnosed with Molluscum contagiosum. Basically was told the ususal story from Doc, just to leave and let the virus run its course.
After trying a few herbal remedies suggested on MN that werent working I made an appointment with a herbalist in Glasgow (Napiers just off Byres Road). Saw a herbalist called Loretta Seagraves who recommended we continue using the thuja cream we were aready applying together with a herbal oral treatment. Anyway to cut a long story short after 3 weeks the spots have all died and virtually gone.
I seriously can not believe the difference as her MC,s were hugh and she had lots.
Just thought this info might helpful for anyone in the Glasgow area whose DC is suffering from MC.
Not sure exactly what was in the oral mix but it worked for my DD.

The oral medicine was probably something to boost your child's immune system. Herbs such as echinacea, elderberry, withania perhaps. For this a child would need to see a medical herbalist for a consultation as it is no longer possible to buy over-the-counter herbal medicines for children under 12, except for rhodiola extract. You can however get thuja cream from Napiers online. It is used cosmetically to lessen age spots and skin tags.
