Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yes, this is pretty common for our kids, for some reason. My son had over 200 of these on his back when he was a little boy. They were finally dealt with by putting him out and injecting each one of them with some kind of virus killer. I don't know what they do about them now, but I think they're evidence of viral issues. Barb [ ] Molluscum Hi all, has anyone heard of molluscum rash? My son has this all over his body and I'm wondering if I should give all of his supplements a beak for a while. His regular ped said to give them a break, but he is not too keen on chelation at all. I'm currently chelateing using dmsa every 4 hours/three days on/four off. Could I continue chelation, or stop for a while. This is a virus which is supposedly contagious, but no one else in our family has it and he has had this for about 6 months, so I'm not sure whats going on.. Any advice is welcomed! Thank you, L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I used OLE, Virastop, vitamin C, and lysine to eliminate viruses here. Maybe try those, see if it helps. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Get apple cider vinegar (with the mother in it) from the health food store. Saturate a piece of cotton ball with it and put either water- proof tape or the tatoo bandaids (you want to choke the oxygen out of them) on all of them. Remove the tape and cotton ball after 3-4 days. They should be grey or black and just fall off. Make sure to dispose of them properly- they are highly contagious. Feel free to contact me- we battled molluscum with 2 of my kids for YEARS and have tried every treatment. I have more treatments if that doesn't work. elissamercado@... Elissa > > 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 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 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 We had a very unpleasant experience with Aldara. Not only was it expensive, thank goodness for insurance, otherwise $240 for these little packs. 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.
