HELP! Toddler has had "chickenpox" since March

So my toddler came out with a handful of small blisters back in March, I was told it was chickenpox (they do act like chickenpox, dry up & leave a bit of a pigment to the skin afterward). After a couple of months of them still appearing the Drs established it obviously couldn't be pox, & prescribed a steroid cream & a review for 3 months time. 3 months pass, the spots are still coming & the Drs have no idea - they prescribe a stronger steroid & tell me she'll probably "grow out of it".

They're not concerned because in herself she isn't unwell which is the good news. But she STILL gets them? Mainly on her torso but they have shown up on her arms, legs & back. I'll attach some pics.

Does anyone have any idea what they could be linked to? Or whose child has something similar? As much as she isn't poorly it's not right to constantly come up in little blisters ☹️ TIA x

Molluscum contagiousum. (Not sure if that's correct spelling). Very common
