My son has molluscum on his face please help
Posted , 16 users are following.
PLEASE HELP......My 6 year old son developed molluscum about 6 months ago. We noticed some bumps on his chin.Eventually diagnosed by a Dr as molluscum.
His chin is now compleatly covered in these spots,he also has them under his chin,neck and in his eyebrows. He is so self concious of them and it is devestating to hear him call himself a alien,and that he hates himself :cry:
We have tried Zymaderm oil and face wash (made no difference at all)
Silver Water (useless) Tea Tree and Which hazel oil ( no change) and are now using cider vinegar,which we hope can help.
We want these horrible things to go so we can have our happy boy back again.If anyone has any suggestions we would be so gratefull.
Many Thanks
Amy and Elliott

Both our girls have had molluscum contagiosum and our GP said there was no treatment. After researching online we purchased a wheat grass spray for skin conditions and used this a couple of times a day. We also used thuga (ointment from health food shop) at night and some nights used manuka honey instead of the thuga. After about 8 weeks the molluscum were all gone. Be sure to keep up the treatment each day. One daughter looks like she may have it again at the moment on the back of her thighs so we have started with the wheat grass spray again. Good luck. It is an awful condition.

My 6 year old daughter has suffered for the past 18 months with spots appearing all
Over her body. After several visits to the doctor to be told there's nothing you can do and
they will eventually disappear, we started getting desperate. A week ago I started putting
Sudocream on them twice a day. Amazingly within a week there is a vast
Improvement and we are now hopeful they will have all gone after another week.
Make sure you cover the spots thickly with the cream, don't worry about rubbing
It in and then cover with a clean vest.
Good luck!
Sarah

We went to the dermatologist and got cured – it is possible!!!!!
The doctor assistant used the liquid nitrogen method spraying on ALL bumps at each visit. A few hours before the appointment we gave ALL bumps an anesthetic EMLA creme (25 mg lidocain + 25 mg prilocain.) under occlusion. She almost couldn’t walk because of all the tape holding the EMLA creme but it did the job. The cryotherapy did almost not hurt (only very very little).
The assistant was VERY gentle only spraying a few times on every bump and it took 4-5 visits before they were all gone. For the bumps around the eye and DIRECTLY on the eyelid the assistant put on some sort of tube in front of the cryo gun. The tube was then cooled down and the extremely cold tube was then applied to the bump for a few seconds.
It is about 6 months since the bumps disappeared and I can only notice 2-3 very small scars on her legs and they are hard to notice. Also, some of the treated sites are still a little red but they get less and less noticeable (the doctor says it can take up to a year for the red to disappear). No scars or color on the face that was treated with the cooled tube.
