Hello!

My son has molluscum contagiosum on his torso, has anyone dealt with this before and found anything that helps clear it up quickly? We now only shower him and use each towel once and dab the spots. Every time I have tried to cover them with bandages/tapes/bandaids he pulls them off.

  • My son had this once. I put some antibacterial handgel on it and it cleared it up almost immediately.


  • Poxiderm works great and it’s a botanical so it won’t burn or irritate the skin. Cleared up my daughter Molluscum in a little over a week! They have coupons on their facebook page all the time. The company is SkinCare BioPharma but the Molluscum treatment is called Poxiderm.


  • Hi – my daughter had it on her face and neck and nothing worked! Sadly, we just had to wait for her body to clear the virus up.
