Molluscum Contagious

[cybil2403]

I’m looking for the best home remedy to remove molluscum. My 2 children have them. I’m currently tea tree oil for the last week and nothing has begun to happen.

Are these warts? If so, my little grandson had them all over his torso, my daughter took him a few dermatologists and they all said they would just fall off them selves, in time, with a little help from some lotions. And sure enough they did, but it must have taken a year... I don't think there is any home remedy.

^^ correct." ^^^

The first saliva on waking massaged over the the warts has been known to work. I dont know if it has to be the persons
own saliva or if a parents would work.Worth a try. It worked for me

This is not something that I'm overly knowledgeable about, but I daresay it wouldn't hurt to try some honey, applied topically.

Tea tree essential oil is a bit strong for young children, and if you are using tea tree products most don't have useful amounts of the oil. Just be a bit careful with it.
