Hi,
DS I said 11 and for the past year has had what I and the GP are pretty sure are molluscum all over the back of his knee and a few single ones on shin and ankle.
Then he has always had a large mole (only slightly raised, almost flat) on his groin of one leg.
I took him to the Gp about molluscum and he said treat with salicylic acid if you want it that freeze off stuff but he said it might sting.
DH is moaning at me and calling me neglectful because I haven't taken him back to the GP. I explained that whether it's warts or molluscum, it will go eventually. DS is a bit paranoid about theming I get it but he has ASD and is very averse to pain or the probability of it.
I said to DH that the GP will be annoyed seeing him again for the same thing that's already been discussed and that the mole doesn't look dodgy to me....just mid brown colour, no jaggy edge, no discolouration etc. The only thing DH noticed yesterday was that a tiny pinhead size piece of mole had lifted away......but pretty sure DS had just caught it.
DH is a bit like him mum and wants to check everything out and as he rarely goes to the GP, I don't think he realises the pressure they're under for stuff like this, which can be monitored at home.
How can I explain to DH that I don't think he needs to go?
