Molluscum contagious

[Diana84]

Hi everyone I joyned this site just to say few words about molluscum and how we managed in just 3 weeks to get rid of this nasty virus for my 18 months son!!after coming back from holliday noticed this small bumps on my son groins been to doctor and they diagnostic with molluscum it' looks horrible and it's very traumatic for parents doctor said to leave it will clear but takes up to 2 yrs I couldn't wait 2 yrs??!!! after reading lots about this nasty virus i decidet to buy some tea trea oil and give it a go so all mums to know you don't need to spend your money on expensive creams just use a bit of tea tree oil on a cotton ball twice a day then applied some sudocream works miracle!!its all cleared now thanks god hope this will help others thanks

Good for you. Despite copious amounts of Tea tree oil and Sudocreme my childrens MC lasted 9 months and 15 months - obviously different for everyone.

We had the same distressing experience after our holiday this summer. Our daughter caught the virus from a friends child and it took my husband and I about 4 days to come to terms with it, and the distressing consequences it would have. Seeing the images online made it even worse. We could not believe our friends failed to inform us prior to the holiday that there child had a server case of this virus. We had not even heard of molluscum!
Now we are in this situation we have been quick to react and have kept her away from other children whilst we deal with the spots. We have been applying MoluDab (which we ordered from our Chemist) and they are reacting as it says on there info sheet. Once we have applied the ointment we do cover them in plasters.
As another remedy I have been rubbing the fat from parma ham and leaving a small lump under the plaster. I was told to do this as a child on a wart and it went away in about a week.
