Does anyone have any advice over the treatment MC? My 6 year old is covered in it and Drs have offered nothing!

have you Googled popping a few? this supposedly gets the childs immune system to clear the rest...it worked for my dd.
my husband used a sterile pin to carefully pop two or three and squeeze stuff out. it cleared up in less than a month

I used a product called Poxiderm when my daughter had it on her face and thighs. We had been dealing with those pesky bumps for so long and her doctor kept telling me they would go away. We tried popping them but they spread and tea tree oil did nothing. When I took her to the specialist he was the one who told me to get the poxiderm. It took about 2 weeks for them to all go away but now it looks like she never had it! I was nervous because of the molluscum on her face but it took care of it like a charm and didnt cause any scars or irritation.

Alternatively if you do nothing it goes away on its own leaving no scars.
