[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Assuming it is mollescum (and I agree you should confirm with different derm), I don’t understand the passive approach. You can make the experience much shorter.

For the first kid that got it, we followed the advice to just leave it alone and it lasted over a year. For the second, I had enough and did the below. It was fully gone in six weeks. After that we did the below and it was always gone in 6-8 weeks.

Cover every night in duct tape.
The ones that start to turn color are ready to be extracted. 
Get in hot shower with kids and have them stand under shower for awhile (softens skin). 
In the shower, gently squeeze and remove seed with needle-nose tweezer. The hot water will help eliminate spread. 
Out of shower, cover extraction locations immediately with lotion and band aid. Wash your own hands with hot water and soap frequently. 
Make sure you take the bathing suits and towels and wash them in hot water after the shower. Avoid touching wet towel & bathing suits. 
Repeat every few days. [/quote]

This is the grossest thing I've ever read on this website.

You're not supposed to pop them or do anything like that unless you want scarring. This is bad advice. [/quote]

PP here. You can let your kids stew in a gross virus for years if you want. I also make my kids shower and soap themselves every day, which apparently a lot of parents here don’t.

My kids had no scarring whatsoever. And it was gone within weeks because I took it seriously and didn’t let it fester. [/quote]

I don't have kids so no one is stewing in a virus except your kids.

YOU are a terrible parent for poking and squeezing at their broken out skin because YOU are embarrassed they caught a communicable disease and YOU think they're so gross and unsightly enough to harm your children so YOU don't have to be embarrassed by it.

What's wrong with YOU?[/quote]
