[quote=Anonymous]Patience. They will go in time! My daughter just had them. She had them about 10 months. If your child is careful and doesn't scratch, and always washes hands after touching them, they shouldn't spread too much. But it is incredibly annoying. It's easy for me to be calm now, because the last ones are disappearing. I didn't try any dermatologist treatments because that only gets rid of ones you see. There may be more on the way. (and it causes more suffering.) That said, I did see one NIH study that said a combination of iodine and tea tree oil makes them go away faster. I put that on each bump with a q-tip every night. I also told my daughter always to put clothes straight in the wash after taking them off (ie, don't wear the same clothes two days in a row.) Also, don't share clothes with anyone. And wash the towel and wash cloth after every shower. I'd be careful with some of the derm. treatments if they cause pain or discomfort for the child.[/quote]
