Anyone had success with lemon myrtle oil or ravintsara oil for Molluscum contagiosum?

that's it really, read some stuff to say the lemon can be an irritant butalso read lots of success stories with it. The herbalist who was anti use of lemon myrtle suggested ravintsara oil instead.

Ds is 15mo, has had one Molluscum since a few weeks old but many more now sine he was around 12mo

Dh who is a pharmacist read the clinical review last might, and he thinks we should leave them a while longer too.

Are there different types of zymaserm btw? As the one being sol on amazon says it's thuja and iodine and echinacea but another website is selling something with the same name and saying it is based on a dilute lemon myrtle oil.

We tried Zymaderm as a friend used it with great success - unfortunately it didn't work for us so we tried something called Molluscum mNo More which we got on the internet - from Holland I think. This cleared up DD2 in about 5-6 weeks and also got rid of her nasty exzema (sorry sp?!) hers was on her bum and back legs - would sting at first but got used to it and smells lovely. Unfortunately nothing worked by the time dd3 caught it. We tried the Thuja tablets, Zymaderm and MNM - looked for Lemon Myrtle and no-one could help me. DD3's took about 3 years to go and she was bullied terribly at school so I had to remove her (spent 3 months speaking to the headmistress about the problem but felt she didn't believe dd3 but when I removed her from the school she accused dd3 of threatening to spread it by chasing children and touching them!!) Once at new school it cleared up in a matter of weeks so I wondered if the stress of bullying had caused hers to last longer?? (dd3 was all over her face so I sympathise). Unfortunately a year later I now have it although only a few spots. If I squeeze (very painful) another flares up. It's a horrible condition even if it is harmless. Worth stating it was only kids at one school who bullied dd3 - 3 other schools kids attended were fine and other daughters did not get bullied
