Molluscum

Anyone deal with this? My DS has had it for about a year now but now that it's summer it's visible. The doctor said something about cutting all his bumps off but I want to try something else first. Ugh I so hope no one else gets it.

Both my older boys had it as toddlers and as much as it bothered me to see them, they eventually went away with topical ointment. J still has scars from it being messed with. I've never heard of cutting it off.

What kind of ointment did you use?

The name escapes me at the moment but it was a wart cream. We tried the salicylic creams too. Eventually they just disappeared. Because my ex thought they were like pimples and tried to 'pop' them, J has little crater like scars on his rib cage.

The doctor said as the kids' bodies and immune system even without treatment would eventually fight it off since it's caused by a virus. Unless they are immuno-compromised.

I just had him pull up his shirt, he doesn't even realize they are there lol. But this is all that's left.
