Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 My 7 year old has been battling this nasty virus for almost a year. It appears we are on some of the last stages, however, we cannot seem to clear up the few that are under his armpit area. He has 5-7 that look really yucky. They will clear a bit then get red and infected looking. I even noticed that his lymphnode is swollen under that arm. Should I be doing something more aggressive or taking him to a doctor? mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 We used a product called Molluscum No More. If I recall it was essential oils and it worked great.

We would put it on each little area, every other day before bed, but it did so much damage to the skin around it. I'm not sure if it was sweating at night. My son had it terrible in the groin area. Anyway, we did several trips, to a dermatologist too. We ended up dropping that course of treatment and just letting it run its course. We were so fearful of what people would think if they saw him, almost looked like a curling iron burn. He was uncomfortable; Vaseline and lubing him up didn't help, very frustrating. We were done maybe a month and low and behold it showed up on my other son. Gurrr...We did nothing, it went away much faster and with no complications unlike our horrible experience with Aldara. Just to share our experience. Tammy [ ] Re: molluscum we battled that with our 11 year old for a year. He even ended up with staph from it. I finally got more agressive because I was so afraid he'd spread it to our younger (ASD) son...who already has terrible eczema. We took him to the dermatologist who prescribed Aldara. It did work in less than a month. We had to pop each one (get the hard core out of it...yuk!!) then put a tiny bit of the aldara on it. The Aldara basically burns the lesions off...which is why you use it so sparingly. The toughest place to get rid of it for our son was under his arm. The Aldara cream is actually used for skin cancer lesions...I know there are alot of dangers associated with it!! I was EXTREMELY hesitant to use it, but like I said I was also worried my ASD son would get it...and with all of his immune issues it could have been very bad. If your the child you are talking about has ASD then I would proceed with extreme caution with the Aldara!! > > My 7 year old has been battling this nasty virus for almost a year.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 We tried ALL the other treatments out there and apple cider vinegar (with the mother) was the best one for those last few that would not go away. HOWEVER, we had to FIRST do this incredible protocol that I found in a molluscum group...it is now called " post 98 " since that is the number post it was originally posted as...it has become famous as " THE CURE " for molluscum. It gets rid of the virus from the INSIDE out, since anything topical WILL NOT get rid of the virus- only the papules. I highly suggest doing this protocol first, then using the vinegar if all else fails. I have also heard good things about Tagament...but do this FIRST! " Hello ladies, I just joined this group last night and was so excited to find it. My two youngest suffered with molluscum for two years before any relief came in sight. I've tried it all, the derm gave us every possible cream, blistering beetle, freezing, picking...everything. I started researching all of the web " cures " ...bought them all and after $300 down the drain and nothing working. I did something myself. I started rfesearching everything I could find, talked to any pharmasist, homeopaths and herbalists I could find. I am going to list what and how I used them and I hope for you moms at your witts end, it might just help you child. If nothing else, it will boost immune systems and clear skin. Here is the things we gave our and . had MC from 10 months old and got it right after . had over 300 bumps at one point and never had over about 40. Both were completely clear after three weeks and thier skin is perfect, except for the scars from the derm! Liquid Echinacea (in a multi-vitamin mixture) You can use Astragalus also. Newton # 36 wart liquid (just a few drops twice a day) Newton #1 Detoxifier (just a few drops twice a day) Thuja (pellet form) 10X MDV on the website (we gave him 3 to 4 twice a day) We gave him Ultra Colloidal Silver (10ppm) by Source Naturals He took about 1-2 ml twice a day. It came with a dropper top so we just squirted a little in each time. You can also by the spray form and just spray it in her mouth. Actually, we just used the droppers for everything but the pellets. We weren't very scientific, we just squirted a little in his mouth twice a day and within two to three weeks he looked like a new child. He hates taking medicine so we made it a game and when I pull the basket off of the fridge, he sticks his tongue out! I've kept him on the detoxifier and I make sure he got the #36 warts and thuja pellets at least twice a week for a few months, not one bump has come back in over a year. You don't want to do the silver for more than 10 days (the bottle says) so we stopped for three days and started again. We also used the silver topically (mixed with Emu oil, you can usually get this at the natural food store also) you can use any good moisturizer, to moisturize his skin while he was taking everything else. With , we did the routine for three weeks, we were amazed at how fast he cleared up. A lot of people are saying to pick at the bumps when they start to turn red, I didn't. They will turn red as her body starts to fight them. We just left them alone and made sure he always wore a shirt to cover them up so he wouldn't bump or pick at them. The vitamin is crucial; it will boost the immune system so they can help fight these things off theirself. I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice, just what worked for me and my kids. I'm not trying to sell anything either, I don't care where you buy these items, your local natural foods/herbal store should have or can get them all. Please make sure that your child actually has molluscum, a lot of other things can look like it and show a lot of the same symptoms. Your pediatrician or dermatologist can usually tell by just looking at them. They look like a little pimple or wart but they have a small indentation in the center (like a little pit). If you open one, the center will not be puss like, it will be a little soft, firm round ball that is hard to remove from the skin. That is actually the virus and will spread if not completely removed. I hope someone can get some use out of this info. I've passed this info on to at least five other moms (it has since worked for MANY MANY more, including us) who have used it and it worked for each of thier children.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks for all the great replies and responses. The Aldara sounds risky. We haven't done much to it all year other than treating with colloidal silver when it gets really yucky looking. Can you tell me more about the essential oil and where you purchased it? mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Here is a response I sent to someone yesterday- discussing a protocol that worked for us- it was posted in a molluscum group: Yes, I found the " apple cider vinegar with the mother in it " (that's the actual name of it- it has the " mother " {the part everything gorws out of} in it) to be the best treatment for the stubborn ones. I got it at the health food store. We tried ALL the other treatments out there and this was the best one for those last few that would not go away.
