[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it all to deal with this. If you are proactive early you can limit spreading. We had some done at the peds. Like you, they did not tell me about the gross festering mess that was going to occur or what to do about it. We just cleaned it and kept it covered. DD had to miss a birthday party at the water park and swimming lessons for a while.
 It was horrendous, insufferable, and like you, I wanted it gone yesterday. I think our problem was we had one big one and did not know what it was and while she was away grandma popped it thinking it was some big zit or something and then didn't take care of it. It spread all over her stomach from there.

When she came back we went into aggressive mode. Vinegar and bandaids each night on each one. We read conflicting stories about whether to pop it when it got bigger and take out the "seed" inside. Some say never do it others say you must do it.  We did it. We found that once we started doing this as instructed online and then treating with vinegar, they went away one by one. They are now all gone and have been for a while. But I think we had them for at least a year. Very frustrating. I thank goodness there was no spread to the face. [/quote]
Thanks so much for the advice!  How long after you went into aggressive mode did it last?  Also, what do you recommend in terms of bathing?  Showers only?  My son is 6. [/quote]
