    hi, i had a huge molluscum appear on my face in may. I am a 48 year old mother and this thing was awful. My aunt who is an aromatherapist successfully treated it with oils and it went in a month. there has been success recorded in 5 days on child molluscum though. You would probably need to visit an aromatherapist to get this made up but here's the recipe:

    2 ml ravensara

    2 ml niouli

    2 ml melissa

    0.5 ml thyme

    2 ml st johns wort

    2 ml rosehip

    1ml tamanu

    i applied it with a cotton wool bud , 3 x a day. it just shrank before my eyes and left no scar.

    hope this helps.

    hi my daughter has the same thing in exactly the same place she also has them on her tummy aswell. She has seen 2 docters and they both say it will go so i think its just a waiting game. I do find that E45 works when they start itching. she is onlt 4 aswell so hopefully they will have gone before she starts been concious of them and other children in her class do.

    Hi

    I'm in London, UK.

    My eldest daughter (3 at the time) developed Molluscum earlier this year (April/May) they were on her right arm, backs of her legs (where she gets Ezcema), and on her tummy, she was very distraught about it.

    I got hold of some \"Molluscum No More\" which comes in a tiny bottle and you apply with a cotton bud, all natural ingredients and it seemed to work.

    Either that or her body got rid of the molluscums on it's own within about 3/4 months in total.

    I did boost her multi vits and fruits and fish intake etc...

    My youngest (15 months) seems to have developed it now (havent had it confirmed but it looks the same), but thankfully she isn't' in the slightest bit bothered by it, so i'll wait and see what happens, i do have a little Molluscum-no-more left over which i will use once confirmed.

    Two different doctors did say it's best to let it work it's way out of the body of it's own accord.
