Dd1 has 3 wart type spots at the top of her leg

They are right at the top and on the inside of her thigh and there is 3 of them, 2 veryiny ones and one slightly bigger one.

She said they don't hurt unless she squeezes them which I have told her not to do, and she said they have bene there for a while now.

Any ideas if they are actually warts, and do I need to take her to the gp ?

Hi

I think it could be molluscm (sp) as far as i can remember its related to the chicken pox virus. It can last for 18mth to 2 yrs before it disappears. My dd had it on the back of her legs and it took just 18 months to go. I took her to the doctor who advised to just leave it be, definately don't squeeze it. The doctor could have burnt it off but it would have been a little sore and could have caused scaring so, as it wasn't causing any problems, i just left it to run it's course. i did make sure she had her won towel though, just incase it decided it fancied a bit of my skin!!

Does she get ecxzema? If so, it is almost certainly molluscum, as it the virus enters through scratching, or something like that.
That's what the specialist I saw for ds said.

The will go on their own, but if they become large, they sometimes get caught on something and bleed
