Started yesterday trying Thuja and Echenacia on my 3 year old who has about 30 over her buttocks and legs. I do hope this works, going to give it about 4-6 weeks and if no joy, going to try Zymaderm.

    Can you tell me if you used Zymaderm and if so what were the results. I have a two year old with a lot of these ugly molloscums over his torso back arms and legs,

    Many Thanks

    Have been using zymaderm on my daughters neck for last two weeks now with no change whatsoever.If anything it has made her neck look worse,triggered mild eczme around the molluscums and tonight has made her neck sting badly.Am going back to doctors in morning.Wouldn`t reccomend it at all.

    Hi

    I have bought some thuja but am not sure if it is safe for children. My son is 3 years and 10mths. Does anybody know, and does it work?

    Thanks

    2 yr old, coming 3. Has had one or left wrist for nearly a year. Then they started spreading. 2 above the left eye, about 12 on the inner part of the left elbox, one now on the stmach and one starting on her left leg.

    Tried:

    aldara cream. 60ukp per box apparently! Rubbish.

    Baby powder - someone told me it would dry them up.

    Tea tree oil. No difference.

    Child's warts are not bursting though. They do crust over byt never burst or bleed.

    Next in line I suppose is Thuja and Echinaforce.

    My girl has ezxema, which apparently allows the molluscum to take hold more easily. She was also at creche and had many, many coughs and colds, so immune system low I suppose.

    After Thuja, I guess it's zymaderm. Amazon.com seems to have happy reviews of it.

    Then I suppose one of the many other treatments.

    I myself has shingles a few years back, so maybe I gave molluscum to my daughter somehow.

    Someone please explain the link between shingles and molluscum?

    Thank you.
