Molluscum contagiosum!!

I, a fully grown adult, have developed a children’s skin condition that I’ve never heard of before in my life - molluscum. Two months ago I had the bigger spots frozen off, which went well, very painful but no scarring. However, the clinic I had them frozen off is now closed due to coronavirus so I can’t return to have the remaining spots (which are now large enough to treat). I am desperate for a cure! What have you tried on yourselves or your children that has worked?

This is interesting- my son has them on both elbows and the GP prescribed hydrocortisone cream x 2 a day plus moisturiser.

We've only been treating him since Monday!

I slathered it in morning and night for the duration of our two week long holiday last year, and despite the Dr telling us about a month previous it could take up to 18months to clear. The EA seemed to work for us - that and squeezing away at the Queen!
