[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It tends to flare up for a few weeks/ month before it fades. It’s harmless and always goes away on its own. I never understood the panic surrounding molluscum from some parents on here. Like, literally who cares if your kid has unsightly bumps for a year and a half. Almost every kid gets it at some point (some super mild of course). It’s fine. Unclench. Your child will be ready to be a J Crew model again in another month or two. [/quote]

Not harmless. By “leaving it alone,” my first give gave it to my second kid and their cousin.  We did the needle technique and it cleared it up in a few weeks. No scarring [/quote]
You could say "harmless to the child" because obviously the parents are the ones who seem emotionally scarred here. The kids don't care until you start putting acid on them or poking their sensitive areas with a needle.[/quote]

Also, kids make fun of the kid with a weird rash all over their arms and legs. While it may be harmless to your health, it’s not completely harmless. Would you be thrilled to let your kid play with someone who has mollescum which is so contagious?[/quote]

If was was truly all over a kids body sure.  My understanding is it is usually not like that.  DD had a small area on her upper arm and the bumps came and went over time. No one else got them and we did not use any coverings. Pediatrician said scarring would be an issue with removal and it would also be painful.  [/quote]
