Is this molloscum?

I think it probably is, but it's been a long time since ds1 had it. I can't quite remember. So far ds2 only has maybe 6 spots round about his armpits, he's had them for a couple of months. I'm so desperate to squeeze them but I know I shouldn't.

Looks like it.
My daughter had it for about 18 months.
Gave her bad eczema around the spots and so,times they got infected. Look out of reddening around them as a sign.

They look like molloscum. DD had it for months. last 2 spots are (fingers crossed) on their way out.

Have you tried molludab? It’s worth a go.

Yes you should squeeze...
Find the biggest one and squeeze it.

The immune system will then kick in and attack and they will go

I'm really sorry @londonlassinthecountry but definitely do not squeeze them...here's a link to the NHS website that strongly recommends not touching them www.nhs.uk/conditions/molluscum-contagiosum/

As someone who loves squeezing spots, this is tough advice... Grin
