Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi Anyone dealt with these little blighters?! My two NT children have developed these. I took my son to the doc last week as he had a big one appear on his trunk that looked nasty and this was the diagnosis. Then later that day I noticed some appearing on my daughter. Both children see a homeopath and she has given them some new remedies. She actually said it is a good sign that their bodies are healing themselves from vaccinations (which is what she has been treating them for up to now) Haven't seen any on my ASD son - maybe his body is taking longer to heal? Anyway, on both the children, apart from the one on my son's trunk, they are tiny and barely noticeable (perhaps because of the homeopathy) but to my abject horror I seem to have developed them all over my face - I have about ten now and more appearing daily, they looked like spots/pimples at first but don't seem to be going away and my dh thinks they look different to him. They look really awful!!!!!!! I'm going to ring the homeopath first thing tomorrow but wonder if anyone here has anything to suggest also. The usual anti virals, vitamin A, Biocidin etc? Anything else? BW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would start with vitamin C and lysine, and biotin to control yeast, and see if that helps. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Pasted: How do you contract molluscum contagiosum? It is an infection caused by a virus called poxvirus. Outlook This is a benign disease that spontaneously improves after a couple of months. In patients with AIDS <http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/hiv & aids.htm> , it may develop as a general or pervasive (gradually spreading) skin infection. How is molluscum contagiosum treated? Usually no treatment is given since the disease disappears by itself. Larger and troublesome molluscum can be frozen or scraped away under local anaesthesia <../../health_advice/facts/anaesthetic.htm> . Antiseptic <../../medicines/effect/skin.shtml> applied to the affected areas is helpful only if local infection occurs - which shows as painful red areas around the molluscum spots. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/molluscum.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
