Molluscum Contagiosum

My daughter has had this virus for about 6 weeks now. The doctor told me thay would go away on their own and that we just had to let it run its course. At this point she only had about 3. She now has over 20 of these nasty little bumps under her arm pit and yesterday I discoverd a few tiny ones on her torso. I have started using ACV and in the course of two days the 2 biggest ones have turned black. I believe this is a good sign that the molluscum is now dead! I followed most poeples advice and soaked cotton wool in ACV and then secured it on the spot with a plaster. She said it stings a little, but nothing major. Fingers crossed the rest of them respond in this way. My only concern is that her skin does look a little red, but that could easily be because of all the plasters she has stuck on her.

Why don't they make a vaccine for this horrid virus? So many people seem to suffer with it.

    Get Zymaderm 1 - its not the cheapest solution but it definately helps them stop spreading and kills them off really quickly.

    If you go to the **** site then click on their producs think its called **** you can get Zymaderm 1 from them. Think its ?23.00. If you dab each spot with the Zymaderm morning and night it definately takes them away. Can cause the skin round about to go a bit red but you can put vaseline round the surround skin first. If you get the MC when they first appear this takes them away really quickly. I know its expensive but its worth every penny. Good luck!

    Have been using this relgiously for around 3-4 weeks now, and only minimal improvement. Still has new ones poping up which are now spreading to her back. Saw the doctor again and he just shrugged his shoulders and said there is nothing they can do. I am frantic!
