Molluscum
My daughter has had a couple bumps of Molluscum since August. It first started as a couple bumps on her knee, then one popped up on her side, then a couple in one of her arm pits.
I brought her to the dermatologist, and he said it would run it's course. Since then I have been researching home methods of curing it. I read about Tea tree Oil. Since I had some in the house (I use essential oils for certain things) I started using it on her, and it did take some away, and it's helping to contain the ones that are left.
There are still a couple "stubborn" ones that will not go away. Has anyone found anything else that has worked for this? A little boy in her class told her his mom cuts them off. I tried to just pop 2 of them with a sterilized needle, and she freaked out (she is 4), so I can't do that.
Any other things that work?
Thanks!

Molluscum
My son has had them since last January.
We're currently using Zymaderm. It has made them smaller but, they haven't gone away completely.
We also tried Retin-a but, that really hurt him.
Emu-Aid seemed to work a bit with the itchiness but, they are still there...

Try the Tea Tree, it is working, just not on every single bump. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now once a day. I use peroxide to clean the area then apply it with a Q tip.
I think I may try the apple cider vinegar on the remaining bumps.

Re: Molluscum
My friend's daughter had this and ACV did the trick! That stuff works on a lot of skin issues!

The Zyma Derm has the tea tree in it so it's working a bit.
Apple Cider vinegar only worked for me on "new bumps"...
I just want it to go away!

Tea tree oil right on the bath worked for us.
