[quote=Anonymous]That is funny that someone else mentioned Dr. Lily in McLean. We went to her too as a last resort (she is my dermatologist).

We literally dealt with this for an entire year and it was becoming a huge issue as they were all over my daughter's face and she felt horrible. People kept asking her what was wrong with her, etc. Ped said to let it go, we ultimately went back after 3 months and asked if we could take other measures. They sent us to a pediatric dermatologist in Vienna who prescribed two separate rounds of some kind of ointment that didn't work.

I then tried a number of random internet rememdies. Nothing.

I ended up making an appt with Dr Lily just to see if there was anything else she could suggest. At this point my daughter was coming home crying every day about them. It was really bad. Dr. Lily basically cut each one of them out. She put numbing cream on and used a needle-like-thing to cut the top of each one and then squeeze out the core.

I would highly recommend going to see her as this was such a lifesaver, but if I had to do it again I would have been prepared better. I would have brought candy or something as a treat, and honestly depending on the age of your child you may want to bring another adult for backup. I was not prepared for how much blood there would be and I wished I'd brought my husband. My daughter was so hysterical I could not take her back to school. [/quote]
