My son picked this up on his back from wrestling and now is unable to partipate until they clear. I have found very little research and would like to know if anyone has had success in treating this condition. They are white, pearly blister looking bumps and we have had them burned off only to return 3 days later. It has been diagnosed as molluscum.

my son had the same condition 3 years ago. i took him to a dermatologist and he was treated with a serum (an extract of a plant of some kind) that was dotted on each molluscum... even the very tiny ones that you could only see with magnifying glass. within 6 hours each molluscum treated became a very painful large and inflammed blister that would eventually break within a day or two. he was literally covered in blisters all over his chest and under his arms. the blisters were very painful and my son was quite uncomfortable for about 4 or 5 days. we had to have this procedure done 3 times before it cleared up completely. the doctor told me that this condition is very contagious. i would have treated him with homeopathy if i had known about it at the time...my daughter had a recent out break of timy little warts on the bottom of her foot. i gave her 30C of thuja for 3 days and treated her with thuja ointment twice a day for about 5 days. that was almost three weeks ago and the warts are completely gone. i do not know if molluscum can be treated the same way...but i hope this information helps. melissa

Thanks for your input! Do you recall the name of the ointment used? We have a second appt now for cutting them next week..in which they will probably return, due to the microscopic ones.

i do not recall the name of the serum...i remember the doctor telling me that it was a very potent plant extract that causes blisters to the skin...which he said was the only way to completely get rid of the molluscum...only a very tiny drop was applied to each molluscum. i was told that burning freezing or cutting them out would not get rid of them because they are viral and will only return unless you bring the virus to suface by causing the blisters. are you seeing a dermotologist? i hope this helps...

Thanks fowertea: I think the cream might be called aldara which is prescribed and acutally derived from a leaf. FDA approved.. We have an appt for next week and they are recommending cutting, but it makes more sense to approach it with the cream..Hopefully we will get the ok from the clinic, haven't been to the dermatolgist yet, the clinic hasn't made a referral. Will let you know the outcome. Thanks so much for the direction.

My 10 year old daughter had one molluscum on her upper eyelid from the beginning of this year. Any soap, creams applied near the eye and swimming would result in a very red, puffy sore eye. After visiting the g.p twice and local eye clinic I took her to see a homeopath. She was given thuja to take twice a day for 3 weeks. We have just come back from our holidays where she spent most of the time in the swimming pool. Her eye is perfect now.

I had them over ten years ago and just kept having them burned off with tricloracetic acid. Eventually they stopped reoccurring. There was some scarring, but that cleared as well.
