“Can you ask your followers if anyone has any recommendations for getting rid of molluscum? Thanks” – GT, Brooklyn NY
“Yes! I worked for a dermatologist years ago. If you cover it in duct tape for about 2 weeks, it suffocates them and they disappear.”
“My daughter also had. My doctor said not to shower her with siblings and not to share towels since it spreads like that and through water in camp pools. If it didn’t go away, he would just freeze it in his office and it would disappear.”
Dip a cotton ball into apple cider vinegar. Put it onto the first or biggest molluscum. Secure with a bandaid and leave overnight. After 2-3 nights it should dry up and about 2 weeks later it should be gone. If the kid only has a few, put it on all at once so it goes away faster. Every morning massage the area with a bit of olive oil so it doesn’t become a rash from the vinegar.”
“I had the weirdest story. My son had some issues I decided to call someone for cranial and reflexology. A day or two later his molluscum started drying out. Thought it was coincidence. A couple of months later my sil went to a dermatologist with her kid. Doc prescribed a cream to smear on
one pimple. This makes the body recognize that the molloscum is a virus and it needs to fight it. The cranial/ reflexology wasn’t a coincidence anymore. Good luck!”
“Our dermatologist taught me how to use emla cream to numb it and then pop it. Then you must clean it with alcohol after and use bacitracin or bactroban on it and keep it covered with a bandaid for a few days. It left no scars! We have tried ACV (apple cider vinegar) on cotton ball on the moloscum with a bandaid for a few day. It worked but it left scars. Also taking a bath nightly with 2-3 cups ACV and soaking for 15 min every night. It diminishes them slowly and prevents new ones.”
“Omg yes… I had TONZZZZ OF molluscum warts as a baby…. first of all- DO NOTTTTT POP THEM!
My mother popped them and now I have many many little crater scars all over my skin.. I’l send a picture maybe. Ask a doctor or go to a dermatologist but don’t squeeze them please….”
“Yes. My son had it for many years when was a child. Our pediatrician told us several times that there was no need to make a treatment. Used to say that the molluscum would go away by itself. And BH happened like this, while he was growing.”
“Grapefruit seed extract works wonders bh
“This may sound super weird but It worked for me and many others. On any erev rosh chodesh u take half an onion spin it around the child a few times. You then bury it. (Since I didn’t have where to, I dumped it.) And bh it disappeared!”

Calamine lotion worked wonders for my daughter. I smeared it on each pimple with a qtip and covered with a bandage. They disapeared within a few days.

The woman that wrote about the onion. Can you please explain to me what you mean by spinning the onion around a few times means. Do you wipe the moluscum with the half a onion? Please explain.

My daughter had mollescum and they were getting infected. I did this treatment and worked amazing.
Add to bath 2 or 3 times a week:
1 c epsom salt 1 c baking soda 3 drops thuja essential oil. Soak for 15- 30 mins.
Daily supplements:
Maxi active pro 1/2 scoop 2x daily.
Enzymedica candidase 1/2 capsule in apple sauce 2x daily.
Btw this is viral and contagious. Make sure not to share her towel and rinse the bathtub after she uses it. I used to wipe down the toilet seat with clorox wipes after my daughter used it so not to spread to the other kids. Amd do not pop them! It can leave scars. Good luck!

Use yellow dial soap (might be hard to find now). Worked amazing!
