Molluscum contagiosum

My 2.5 lo has this and I was wondering if anyone else has experience? How long did its last? I also have a 6mth old baby and worried it could be caught - should they stop sharing baths? They have their own towels. I also take my lo swimming every week - is this still ok? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I used a kit from here to treat DS as a toddler. It took a while, but worked beautifully.

I decided against buying another kit for the last 3 stubborn spots, as I thought they'd go with some more time. They did, but they scarred - small craters- they were the only ones that did. If I had to do it again I would have got another kit.

They are supposed to go Milkwagon. At least that's what the directions say! I was impatient and continued to put a drop of molludab on once a day even once they were red. So I never tested it.

Good luck!

I tried everything. Ds1 had it, then much much later ds2 badly. I tried Molludab. Useless. I then bought a wart off freeze - recommended from US , mainly used for bazookaing verrucas!! Was worried I was doing the wrong thing!! God he cried with the stinging. Was awful. But he'd cried with the Molludab aswell. Finally, they went. May have been his immune system kicking in. Don't know!!
