What is Molluscum Contagium? I spend a lot of time around children -
in a school - and have no picture of what this could be.

in Australia - main remedies have been Calc carb, Med, and in one
family it was Silica. Like you said I believe it is suceptibility
that determines whether it runs thru the family or not, tho same
constitutions in family seem get it more easily.
constitutions got it the others were OK. Regards Pauline
don't reckon it is that contagious but it is susceptibility that is
the key. So what percentage success do you have with using Med in
all your cases as I am willing to change what I do if there is a
better solution. I have never heard about using band aids on the
broken ones. I give mum HyperCal tincture to dab on any broken ones
to prevent infection. I read on the web that Pau D'arco Herbal
tincture gets rid of them in a week if dabbed on so I tried it with a
few kids and didn't have 1 success!!!!
now the remedy I use is Medorrhinum 200 1/dose a week x 4 wks.
Molluscum is Pox virus derivative! It is highly infectious and will
go through all the children in one family. Breaking the blisters
spreads the virus and makes it scar and highly contagious. You are
meant to put bandaids on them so they do not expose the other
children to the broken blisters. Liz Lalor
past the Molluscum popped and cleared within a few days of a
suitable constitutional remedy being given I am finding now that they
are going away far more slowly. I am beginning to wonder if it is me
not coming up with the correct Rx or they really are becoming more
resistant. I would love to hear about others experiences with this
problem, including posology and any specifics. I have to say I
haven't come up with a specific as I treat according to the
individual child in front of me. Last week I had a child in who is
age 2 and has had the problem for 18 months - that's the youngest I
have had in. I think the oldest has been about 8 yrs old. It seems
equally distributed between the sexes.
who prescribed steroid cream and others who have told Mum to stick a
sterilised needle in each one and pop out the contents. I had one Mum
who squeezed her children's and scarring resulted!!
