Molluscum?

[spottymcspotterson]

Can anyone offer an opinion on whether these spots are molluscum? And if so how I can treat it? I know nhs etc advice is to leave them, but the poor kid already has eczema so keen to help her if I can.

Dd has them on her back, have appeared in the last week, following the appearance a few weeks ago of the one on her chest...

She's had chickenpox so not that!

Thanks.

I wouldn't say the red ones are.... they look more like a reaction to something? Keep an eye and if some get bigger and look clear then perhaps. I used the lotion stuff that costs loads and that GPs say doesn't work because they don't want to prescribe it. It does work.

Thank you, is that the molludab one?

The one on the left does look like Molluscum. We’ve been struggling getting rid of DS’s we used Malludab which did get rid of a few. They got really big and angry. He has some new ones now which are tiny but I’m hoping they will just go by themselves now his body has recognised the initial ones.

Yes that's what we used.

If it is molluscum leave them alone and they will go on their own.

The one on the left looks like molluscum, my son had them for a year between ages of 2 and 3. His brother aged 1 never got them despite my being told they were very contagious. We were told to leave them. He had small light patches on his skin for a few years after they went but no sign of them now. They never looked red or angry like your other picture so maybe go back to the GP.

Nothing works I'm afraid. But time.
