Molloscum contagiosum , can anyone help ds so sad with it cried tonight!

[Lilyloo]

I have posted on here before about this and realise its quite common.
However ds is spreading and getting worse rather than better.
Now dd1 has couple of spots on her.

Have taken him to doc who said ignore when he had 3/4 spots on his trunk.

Now he has about 100 on his trunk arms neck and spreading on his legs and back.

He started crying tonight about having to change for pe under the table

Have tried Elizabeth Arden , is there anything else?

Thanks

Interesting report sugar but what about the end line saying the safety of using this has yet to be further tested ?

I painted ds2's with new skin type stuff religiously every night over Christmas. He had had them for a about a year.

This seem to work as he wasn't re infecting IYKWIM

Whats that Dee ?

Sorry, not been on. New skin is a barrier type thing you paint on grazes etc, and because it makes a barrier the molescum can't multiply

My DD had molloscum for about a year or so, all down 1 arm, 1 leg and the left hand side of her trunk. Searched the web and I found this after getting frustrated with doctors telling me it would clear up on it's own, but might take a couple of years.
It cost me about £20 but my god was it worth it, every last one has gone, but they have left scars (which compliment her many chicken pox scars).
Apologies if someone has already suggested this but I've only skim read the other posts.

Btw, it's just silver particles in distilled water - completely natural, and I only needed to buy the 100ml spray bottle.

Lemon Myrtle - interesting website - click here

I hope that the NHS webpage has been looked at before.

Excellent page on the numerous treatments available.

those plasters with silver in on the worst biggest ones

manuka honey maximum strenght

clear nail polish on all of them

sun bed - mad for a child but one session

carocaro, do you eat the honey or put it on the spots >

sunbed Really???

Homeopathy didn't work on my nephew - and my sister shelled out a lot of cash.

I am inlcined to agree about the possible co-incidence of treatment and them going by themsleves.

DD1 was covered in them for about a year. I cleaned a needle and pierced the ones that got big - she wouldn't let me squeeze them nor did I want to. As soon as they'd been burst they went. It took a year or so to go completely.

Lilyloo - How did your DS get on with the vest for sports option?

Oh doh - just seen its an old thread. Ignore me, I'll get some wine.

Got the info from an old dermatolgy book when i was a medical rep. Tried the method of pricking them with a cocktail stick dipped in iodine. The physical trauma to the molluscum triggers off a chain reaction in them and then they disappear after a period of being slightly inflamed. Gp told me there was nothing we could do but DS1 was having the micky taken out of him at school so i was desperate. It worked for us.

just realised this thread is a year old

After a good soak in the bath armed with tweezers I got rid of some, opne GP said I should do this so that the body knows it's uninvited!! He had it for about six months.

alypaly, don't worry, your advice is very useful as we are dealing with this at the moment.

oops.

ds1 has had them for 6 years now. crystacide cream works for lots of people, can be bought without prescription but be sparing with it as is very strong.

also if you google virucide which you can order from US website, that worked well for us

thanks sailorsgal.....alot of mums on MN have tried my method with great success. It worked within about a month of me pricking them and DS1 had over 100 on his torso. He used to cry so much as the kids all called him Mr warty,diseased,leper etc....
