The guilt is over whelming

My lovely toddler aged 2 has had molluscum which I have not really been that good at clearing. It hasn’t responded to Molludab. Consulted with an online private dermatologist who prescribed a much stronger medication that is actually used to treat skin cancers.
Her molluscum was increasing so I applied this. It’s made her entire area on the upper part of her lip dark brown in colour. Either caused a burn or hyperpigmentation. She feels conscious about it as well when she looks in the mirror.
J cannot cope with how I feel. I am liking it and moisturising it but I did this. I know it will take many weeks to heal.

Not been able to sleep. Just want to cry over what I have done. Not sure why i’m posting . Any recommendations for any products ?

When we burst them, we called it the Pearl. You have to be careful if they need, a bit like warts, I think this spreads them. About 10 years ago, I feel like this was what I came to Mumsnet most for!

Nhs derm won't see molluscum. It's self.limiting.

sorry, I wasn’t clear. I was suggesting this due to the hyperpigmentation

they won't do anything about that either - cosmetic - and nothing really that can be done other than time.
