Molluscum Contagiosom

[2boyz1girl]

Has anybody dealt with this virus before? My son has it and the docs say that there is nothing they can give your child and it takes up to 2 years to go. I did get some collodial silver of the Internet and it does seem to be improving but just wondered if anyone else had gone through this and if they got any other treatments. Feel so sorry for my wee man.

HI my son had it a few years ago and yes there is nothing they can do about it but let it run its course,which is quite ditressing as it is rather unsightly :eek: they did however give in and burn off the really big ones wich did help,although that left rather big holes where the spot used to be! x

The silver spray does seem to be helping, and there are larger ones that the doc said could get forzen off but hopefully if I keep putting the spray on it will totally go. He does seem to be left with little scars where bigger ones have been. Almost chicken pox like. Went to the pool the other day and felt it for him. He isn't bothered about other people looking at him so thankfully it isn't affecting him that way! Thanks for the feedback guys.:D

Thanks Wicker and Horseman:). I will giv him a hug as he is so blooming cuddly anyway. Even at 8! Can't wait to see the back of it, looking at it today I can see improvement. Just hate seeing my wee guy not perfect. I know it's nothing serious like some kids have to deal with. Hopefully it will be gone in a couple of months. The silver spray is expensive:eek:but must be helping. I was just wondering if anyone else had used any other method of treatment.

hiya - both my girls had it, my eldest had it for about 12 months before her sister caught it at about 6 months old, I took them to a homeopath and she gave me stuff for it, it did not make a huge difference to my older daughter - but think that may be because the virus was in her body for so long before I took her - but i made a huge difference to the little one, she had a wee spell where it got worse - but that is what homeopathic medicine does, but then it disappeared completely, she really only had them for a few months - her big sister on the other hand suffered for over 2 years and had a lot of pock marks left over from it.

The homeopath I used lived out west - past Bettyhill but she was fantastic.

My youngest had this and has only within the last few months got over it. I think it took a full year for the spots to go away, and now her arm is still scarred. She couldn't wear t-shirts for ages, she was so self-conscious about it! Hopefully your son will recover quickly. :)

just an update really, my little boys Molluscum has nearly dissappeared. Would recommend Collodial Silver to any1. It has truly unreal results. Delighted!:D It can be used for so many other skin conditions, throat infections etc. Brilliant!
