I had on MC bump and had a docotr laser it off. A few months later a second crop popped up and did the same. Went almost one year and then a few popped up in a new location. Went through it again. This seems to happen every year. In 2012, end of the year it hit again- just a couple spots, had them zapped and then in Feb 2013, a coupel more but I was not sure they were MC- doc zapped them all, but I thought he might just be doing it to put my mid at ease. In april I saw some bumps and went to another doc. They said not MC so I felt good. Well, Dec. 2013 I find a bump and this time it seems more like MC. Went to doc and under the light you could see 5-6 tiny ones- This time they looked like it-looked like they sit on top of skin, kind of shiny- pearly-not erupting from the skin with a white head like a pimple. Well, those were zapped. Now, I see what looks like a pimple. I made sure I washed the area and put acne cream on it thinking normal pimple. That one seemed to die down, but on my thigh I see a red dot. Same plan-but this one does not seem to be acting the same way. It is not clear to me it is MC-my quetions, How can you tell it is MC- the trips to the docotr are expensive and the zapping is too. If it is MC I would like to just freeze it with a home wart kit- and be done with it. Is that a plan? Is it possible that my immune system has just not been ablt ofight this off so I get it every year?Need Helpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119886.post-86162439825662374772012-12-05T16:29:41.162-08:002012-12-05T16:29:41.162-08:00Scrap everything I said before....

Just pour it on and it will start killing the virus within hours. <br /><br />You will see results within days!!!!<br /><br />Also liquid plaster is good for individual bumps but do not cover large areas as this will dry out skin potentially making it worse. <br /><br />Use. Acetone for large areas, trust me it works so so well and fast.<br /><br />Don't waste your money on anything else. I wish I hadn't! <br /><br />ACETONE is Such a simple cure and a. Well known home remedy for herpes and cold sores.<br /><br />Please try it and spread the word ( not the virus hehe) because it seems no one is documenting acetone as a cure for molluscum. <br /><br />And if you are wary search acetone on skin, the effects are minimal... Also search acetone herpes and you will see it kills that virus too.

However it spread to my face! The face is hard to treat as the skin is so sensitive and soaking in ACV for 24 hrs is painful! <br /><br />So far I have used thuja, ACV, and molluscum gone oh and acetone! (didn't sting on wrist but would dare try on my face).<br /><br />What I have learnt is to use ACV that is totally unprocessed and organic -with ' the Mother' (which holds most of the good stuff inside).<br /><br />Another tip use medi tape to hold cotton wool in place as plasters can damage the skin.<br /><br />Also supplements to boost immune system and skin cells -zinc, vitamin c, selenium, silica, oil of oregano (80%), vitamin D3. <br /><br />I'm taking colidial silver which is an excellent all round medicine ( cured a sore which I'd had for years and the doc couldn't do anything for in days!). If you take this also take pro biotic as the silver has potential to kill good bacteria too. <br /><br />I've also just ordered Tagamet as some say they have had success against MC with that. - will let you know if it works.<br /><br />Basically everything I'm taking is helping, the bumps are dying as soon as they surface and I'm managing to keep them under control and kill new ones within 24hrs.<br /><br />IMO non processed apple cider vinegar with the mother is best for topical use, thuja is good when your skin can't handle ACV anymore, fucidin is great for healing the excema that comes after the bumps die, supplements to boot immune system and also drink ACV diluted in water too.<br /><br />Good luck to all who are suffering, stay positive :) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119886.post-18262496727588955882012-10-31T21:48:11.483-07:002012-10-31T21:48:11.483-07:00Anonymous,

...i have MC now, gonna try the apple cider vinegar.<br /><br />i can speak from experience with apple cider vinegar:<br />it completely and very quickly took away about 10 warts i had once on my fingers. (it seems molluscum and warts are similar. both a virus producing similar raised bumps).<br /><br />SOAK little pieces of cotton balls (not the whole ball), then apply that on the skin, secured with a band aid. LEAVE IT ON a long time (like 24 hours? or replace it with a freshly soaked piece)...you may feel a little tingling but that just means its working. when you take off the bandaid, it will look "pruned" maybe like its been wet a while, maybe whitish/ bleached...don't worry about it, vinegar is good for you. anyway, the freezing method did NOT work or do anything. the apple cider vinegar took them away in like a week? i was so thankful! now i'll try it on the molluscum whateverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119886.post-4249392372055641622012-02-27T20:41:38.162-08:002012-02-27T20:41:38.162-08:00My son has had Molluscum for most of his life!

She had two warts on her knee, but I noticed these other smaller 'spots' on the top of her knee. The spots seemed to spread a little so we quickly went to our family doctor and this was confirmed. She tried a topical treatment on a little cluster of the spots, which as blistered over and is scabbing now... it looks sore though. :( I am thinking this is the beetlejuice someone else referred to, not sure. I am just so worried that this will get worse. I hope we have caught it and can nip it in the bud. Right now it is just contained to her knee...

Another bump - same cycle - stongrer antibiotics but I wasn't conivinced the antibiotics did anything useful - besides decreasing her natural resistance - so we saw a derm. He did the nitrogen and we came back two weeks later for another treatment. It is not waning so far. She has bumps at various stages - bump, budding pimple, giant pimple, scab, healing. They itch, sting, hurt. It breaks my heart. Tonight we are trying vinegar. Next appt with derm in two weeks. Will keep you posted.

I tried Aldera and freezing and neither of these worked, it only spread to my thighs. I decided to try the Apple Cider Vinegar about 5 days ago and it seems to be working! <br /><br />I do have one question tho, for those people that have tried it. What I am doing is wiping it down during the day with ACV and then soaking cotton balls in ACV and putting them on each of the spots overnight, covered up with a bandaid. It use to sting really bad but now it only stings in the morning. When I wake up in the morning they are still slightly irritated, but they are now scabbed over. The only problem is, I still am getting a yellowed ring around the outside of the scab. Does that mean I should stop putting the alcohol soaked cotton balls on them and just take vinegar baths? Or should I keep doing the over night treatment until there stops being a yellow ring? I don't know when enough is enough and I am SO SICK of dealing with this!<br /><br />Also, should I start using Neosporin as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119886.post-47324716881504193632011-06-26T20:35:34.448-07:002011-06-26T20:35:34.448-07:00My child got m.c. from someone who handed down clo...My child got m.c. from someone who handed down clothes. Had for about one year, then, someone 'caring' for my child popped an m.c. pox while the child was sitting on a public toilet in a store. This person thought they were doing a favor by squeezing out the white stuff and thought they were doing something like how they 'helped' kids with some kinds of sores overseas. I will never forgive this person, because the bumps spread and there was a greater infection, and my child got sick even. I'm infuriated typing this. Anyway, to help all you out, my doc said leave it alone, but I noticed that a baking soda bath helped get rid of the infection a bit, and I am using the alcohol on a new pox that got scratched - and it looked better pretty quick. I don't want to recommend anything because I am not a doctor, but I hope this will work, my child seems to be more sensitive to them, and now, the number has doubled. Who would squeeze these things with bare hands, and have the child wipe it up themselves when I've given them the mayo clinic sheets from online and my doctor three times? Anyway, even in a worse case scenario, things do get better - but it took over a month for the squeezed one to stop being inflamed. Good luck to everyone.

You obviously have never had MC. Because it is contagious and it does spread to other areas, it is in fact more than just bumps and it is awful to have them. I am a 36 yr old woman with Lupus and I got them. Since they have to be covered all of the time, it means long sleeves in warm weather when I had them all over my arm. I also got them other areas. It does indeed affect your life in a major way. I was afraid to give it to my husband or son, so there is a ton more laundry and I am always afraid to even hug or touch either one of them. I have also had them for 6 months. Shame on drs that do not know anything other than using adlara or freezing, cutting or burning them off. If you have molluscum, do not settle for these treatments. The adlara has really bad side affects and the freezing, burning, and cutting will leave scars and it might not get all of them. I used the aldara and had some really bad problems. Organic raw apple cider vinegar works. Apply it with bandaids and soaked cotton balls. You can also drink the ACV diluted in water to boost your immune system. For the time it takes to boost the immune system and get over MC you can take 2 Tbs 3 times a day orally and it willfor sure help. ACV is the answer. This MC makes a person feel like they have the plague, so NEVER say they are just bumps and they will go away!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119886.post-39804182023592827282010-12-09T05:15:17.924-08:002010-12-09T05:15:17.924-08:00Oh, just re-read thru the blog (found this months ...Oh, just re-read thru the blog (found this months ago and just remembered I should come back and let everyone know our results) and also, we DID NOT have to pick, scrape or rip off the scabs or any other painful burning/freezing - though I am sure those are alternatives.....and also, the first couple applications I did were getting no results - from regular ACV, from the grocery and I had to go to health food store to find Organic, unpasteurized (or will say Raw) ACV (just 3/4 dollars more). Would just shake it up , pour a little into a cup and dip the cut piece of gauze into it the put it on as many spots as possible to conserve gauze and band aids! little buggers kept spreading at first but could tell the ones I was treating were being effected so I kept applying to new ones - and just like some others have said, once they pop, keep doing until looking healed, and the redness is still fading...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
