molluscum contagiosum

[chezzabell]

Hi Ladies and Gents

Just found out Alastair has molluscum contagiosum, and was wondering if anyone else has come across this????

Found this website about information, but they always seem extreme cases, so was wondering if anyone has any ideas they could share with me!

Thanks

harmless but annoying - tends to go away after a few months (can be up to 18 months) whatever you do. Is more common in areas of eczema so can be helpful to keep skin well moisturised - use somethign gentle like emulsifying ointment (about £2.50 for a 500g tub from your chemist)
