Molluscum Contagiosum

Glen brought Liam to see the N.P this morning because he has these little bumps on his arm.
They didn't look like warts or moles so naturally I was concerned.

She says that she thinks they are something called Molluscum Contagiosum which is a skin rash caused by a virus that was first described in 1817. The virus is a member of the Pox virus family. It is common worldwide and accounts for about 1% of all skin disorders in the United States. It primarily affects children (boys more often than girls) and young adults. The incidence of molluscum contagiosum is increasing.

I also found this site if you are interested.

He has an appointment to get them burned off on the 29th at 845 am. Luckily its a PA day so if he is uncomfortable, I can help him manage the pain.

This is so weird. I had hoped it was nothing but a rash.. but yea.. Its not that horrible but anything that affects my kids freaks me out.. as you know.

Liam is not bothered by it, he says they are not itchy or anything so at least i have that to keep me happy for now.

Helyn is still not pooping regularly... we were doing good for the first week on lactulose and now it doesn't help at all. Glen brought it up with the N.P. and she is going to get back to us and refer us to a pediatrician

Aw, I know its scary when things happen to our kids. Sorry to hear it wasn't just a simple rash and there has to be a procedure to get rid of it but at the same time, I'm glad it's nothing serious.

Poor Helyn!

Yea, there is a freezing thing they do to get rid of it.
But it hurts... I don't want him to be in pain. There is a numbing cream we can use... but yea.. sigh.

Thanks Cyn

Kyle had molluscum too. We had the 'bumps' burned off about 1 month ago. First we put a cream on his skin about 2 hours before where the bumps/warts were to freeze the skin and then they just scratch them off. you Kyle did not cry at all. The only thing that is a little bothersome if that they bleed. Make sure he doesn,t take his bath with the other kids-that is how it is transmitted. Other than that it is painless for them and once it is done it is done.
Oh yeah and the doctor told us that if we see new ones just to scratch them off after a warm bath with our finger nails. They will bleed but it doesn't seem to hurt Kyle other than the pinch due to the scratching off...

Liam is brave and he'll be fine. It's about time a referal is made for Helyn.

Hi I am a friend of Aimee's and that is how I found your website, there was a link on her blog. My son was exposed to molluscum at his day home and since then he has had rashes but have managed them with cream from the doc. Sorry to hear your little one has to have the bumps burned off. Take care!

My son started with molluscum after contact with his
cousin (who had it and we didn't know until it was too
late). At first it was mild and then what seemed like
overnight, it started to spread and the spots became
larger and more painful. I was desperate to find
something to help. We were told to let them run their
course, but that wasn't going to work for me. I
researched and tried several home remedies to no avail. a friend introduce me to this doctor called Dr jatto, he gave me herbal medicine for my son right now as I am shearing these testimony my son is perfectly okay. you can also reach him drjattosolutionhome@gmail.com or whatsapp +2348145243120

FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life
became meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, the
symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family
run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave
up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the
doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but
they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making
it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I
came across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhota
cured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thought
it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details
provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me
his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two
weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms
disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was
NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR
Ebhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on
telling the world about you. If you are going through same
situation worry no more and contact DR Ebhota via
drebhotasolution@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.
