Most kids have it for under a year, and if Koen is anything like Silas it will come and go in waves of getting better and worse. <br /><br />My doctor told me that it is about as contagious as warts, in fact it is in the wart family, so as long as other kids aren't rubbing skin directly with his bumps, it will be hard to pass on which is comforting. <br /><br />We used various treatments with varying success. Apple cider vinegar in small doses applied with a Q tip, but that was really time consuming. Tea tree oil. But finally what cured Silas' was taking a drug that actually is used sometimes as an anti-ulcer medication... I believe it was called Cimitedine. Apparently years ago it was discovered that it also works on Molluscum. A fluke, but many doctors prescribe it for this use. It worked like a charm. The bumps FINALLY left over the past couple weeks. <br /><br />Good luck!Caryn Ouwehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303406205301896115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-37290752871676836612012-09-13T19:10:11.539-07:002012-09-13T19:10:11.539-07:00Sorry to hear that there is sickness going on and ...Sorry to hear that there is sickness going on and you had a tough time at the Dr.'s office.

She had maybe 20 total, and not all at once, but it spread over a year + time period. with hers, once they opened i would put a bandaid on it to prevent spreading. my understanding was that they were only contagious once open. I have read also about having baths with vinegar in them to help. do a little google search to help get rid of them. not fun at all - so sorry for your rough day :(kelly enshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029562951606332352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-80033806329062220112012-09-13T11:47:25.895-07:002012-09-13T11:47:25.895-07:00I have never heard of Molluscum Contagiosum - hope...I have never heard of Molluscum Contagiosum - hope it clears up quickly - up to 2 years? yikes! I hope his kidneys are fine - scary stuff.<br /><br />Interesting that you still long for more children despite your adventure at the doctor's office on Tuesday, sickness and your tiredness!<br /><br />By the way, your living/dining area of your home is lovely. I spotted the canvas of your new family picture - very nice spot for it!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435729626661884921noreply@blogger.com
