Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 Hi, My twin, , who is 11, had a bout of this on his forehead. We believe he received it from a wrestling mat. We did nothing. It didn't spread to anyone else in the family and it did in deed last the full two years. It is almost gone, now! Marcia Mom to Sara (DS) and 11 and Lucas 15 Quote
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 Hi, My son had this when he was 3 (he is 12 now so this is a few years back). The pediatrician first said, the molluscum will just run its course and go away on its own. But he started getting more. We were worried about 2 things - I was 8 months pregnant and wanted those bumps GONE before the baby arrived and got them too, and we read about the possibility of scarring if the bumps got on his face. So, even though our ped. preferred to leave them be, we insisted on treatment. The treatment was simple. She got a big Q-tip, dipped it in freezy stuff (I think it was liquid nitrogen) and touched the Q-tip to each bump. It was so simple and painless, and we were so glad to get rid of that stuff.
