Molluscum contagiosum in children

[Livingmagicallyagain]

Our DS caught this last summer (we think on holidy in a swimming pool) and it has been rotten for him. No treatment, multiple visits to GP and a specialist. It is quite sore and itchy. Tried everything.

Anyway, I came across this study (and there are other similar studies about the ingredients seperately) and looked for a cream with collodial oat and zinc in it, turns out Aveeno baby daily care barrier cream has both in. After a month the spots have dramatically reduced.

Hope this helps anyone who has it!

Well this is so interesting! Thank you for sharing my little one caught this too and we’ve had nearly 15 months of it all I’ve the back of her knees! She has eczema there and that’s where the molluscum virus likes to sneak in apparently!

So, having tried all sorts I found a natural treatment called Propaheal and Oreganol. Both high dose treatments using oregano to heal the immune system! And by jove it’s only gone and worked! Cost a fortune getting it from the US though but worth it as she was so upset as it was very unsightly and itchy!

Wonderul to hear you’ve had success with colloidal and zinc - this is what I used to treat radiation burns in my cancer treatment! Aveeno also do a colloidal oat bath sachet (amazon) which was a godsend and you’ve just reminded me so I shall order more for us now!! We have the Aveeno cream with zinc too so I’ll get on that to speed up even more healing.

Wonderul… thank you so much! 😊

Thank you for sharing your tip! I will also look into that. DS (and DD) have KP skin too so the bath sachet sounds great.

Anyway, this super cheap cream has worked brilliantly for us. Sudocream has zinc in it too, but the Aveeno has both active ingredients.
