What can I put on it to help itching and stop any dryness.

Will a simple (as in the brand) mosturiser do? Or should I buy something in particular?

Seeing a homeopath cleared up both my Dcs molluscan. DS had thuja but that didn't work with Dd so she had something different.

DS2 had this. We were using Aveeno anyway for his eczema so stuck with that. They spread quite a lot, and one got a bit infected - and then they were all gone. Didn't really seem to bother him.

Great thanks. I didn't think of calomine so will pick some up tomorrow. At the moment she has few on her foot and one elbow. I'm hoping they clear quickly and it doesn't become a prolonged issue! Over a year sounds hell!

Calomine lotion is great for dabbing on or Aveeno for all over moisturising although if there's any heads you might want to avoid smearing a lotion in case it spreads . You have my sympathies as my DC had this for over a year Sad
