How did you get rid of molluscum? Did you try tea tree oil? Did it work. Did you put anything on to quicken up the process of it going away?

Ordered a product from amazon called molluscum blast or something like that. Took a little while but it's almost all gone now.

Masking tape to cover the largest molluscum. After a few days (maybe a couple of weeks?) those molluscum got irritated, the immune system kicked in, and all of them went away.

How long did it take? How often did you need to put it on?

What do you do if it's on the face? You put tape on the face?

It took a couple of months but we also did it only once a day which is fewer times than recommended.

Baking soda and Epsom salt bath recommended by my pediatrician. It took very fast.

Ask your pediatrician about beetle juice.

Tea tree oil worked well for us, recommended by my pediatrician after my child had a terrible reaction to something the dermatologist prescribed. Just dabbed a bit on each one daily.

After 4 years of doing nothing (they werent painful and never got infected or irritated BH) they went away on their own, together with the numerous warts on her fingers

Masking tape only works in some areas (e.g. arms/legs). You might be able to put it on the face (depending where it is) just overnight and take it off in the morning.

We applied apple cider vinegar to the bigger warts and covered with tape/bandaid afterwards. Did this every evening before bedtime. After a few weeks (maybe 2 months at most), they started shrinking and soon all the warts in the area disappeared.
If it's on the face, maybe try doing this each night and removing the tape in the morning. It may work too but may take a bit longer.

Tea tree oil worked wonders. Dabbed on twice a day, and after a few months it was gone.

We took a non coated Advil, wet it and put the paste on each one and covered it with a bandaid. They were gone within a few weeks.

What's the Epsom salt and baking soda trick? My son said his are itchy so want to try. We used a specific acne treatment the pediatrician recommended. Worked on the biggest ones and many are almost gone. But then saw today he got many new ones in that area... Crying
