Anyone know what these are (picture attached)

For context, on my DD11 knee. She has had them about a year and I've assumed they're warts. I've tried several home remedies but nothing. Every few weeks, a tiny bit of white gunk comes out the larger one but then nothing else. Any ideas or treatments?

Looks like molluscum contagiosum. My daughter had them. They cleared up on their own within about 18 months.

They look like warts ?

Molluscum. Quite contagious to other children.

I agree. Looks like Molluscum Contagiosum to me. My DD has similar spots on her arm. GP says they eventually go away by themselves- usually between 12 to 18 months.

Agree they look like molluscum. Definitely best left alone, you can treat them with Molludab which burns them off but it's painful and lengthy and I'd only do that if they start to spread.

My children have all had it, two of them just got small clusters of spots that went away after 18 months or so. The third one had a terrible time with them and they spread all over her arms and legs, when they started to appear on her face she told me she'd do whatever it took to get rid of them so we went down the Molludab route which was brutal.

A friend said she had good success with homeopathy, so there's a gentle route to try if you don't mind suspending any belief you have in science Grin

I agree it’s molluscum. It was spread throughout our school just before lockdown.
