Talk to me about Molluscum

[PrettyCandles]

Because I think dd may have it.

I've read the official NHS guidelines on it for medics, but want to know what it's like from parents. What can I expect, and is there anything I can do about it, other than wait for 2 years for it to spread around the family before it burns itself out?

freezing warts helps get rid of them but I'm not sure mollescum is the same as a wart, does it even work? I had warts frozen off and it didn't hurt tbh.

reasonable article with good advice from Professor Harper.

They can be frozen. However they affect children usually and they are multiple, and I think that children find cryotherapy usually quite painful and scary.

sorry think this works

Good article Friendly thanks, yes a friend's dd has just had cryotherapy and it was very painful for her, if I had to do it to dd it would be so traumatic for her, she finds it difficult enough to go to the doctors I don't think she would ever trust me or them again

My dd has had a handful behind one of her knees (where she had excema) for almost a year but they've almost died off now. I used a combination of spraying colloidal silver onto the affected area and giving her elderberry extract (orally) and it has worked.

Oh, and neither me nor dh has caught it from her despite often sharing baths.

ds2 had them for ages. he had one huge one on his knee which he fell over and knocked off. It bled like mad and then healed over.Within a week the rest had all disappeared. DD had it too although not at same time as ds2 (she is 6 years younger and wasn't born when ds had it) hers cleared up much qucker than ds. It never spread around the family my 2 dss always shared a bath and towels at the time. I think they are just one of those self limiting things that, although unpleasant,do go sooner or later.
