One of my biggest “hits” on my blog is for PUPPS. Which is a pregnancy rash. I had it with Bryson and it wasn’t fun.
Here is another not fun skin condition – molluscum
When Bryson was 2 he developed Molluscum Contagiosum which is a rash that doctors typically say just needs to run its course. But it is pretty scary looking and not very comfortable.
I was just letting it run its course, per my pediatricians advice. But after 6 months without it seeming to get any better I thought I need to try to do SOMETHING.
I went online to see what I could find. Some people were selling their special cures. But I found a simple idea that cost only a box of band-aids and a bottle of tea tree essential oil (you can buy at Henry’s or Mother’s Market)
It took about 6 -8 weeks to finally be GONE!
The problem is when the rash pustules “burst” (think of a zit poppint) the virus is in the pus and that is how it spreads and the child keeps getting reinfected.
So I showered him every day (not really every day, but often), using a new towel EACH time (I definitely did this). I then put a drop of tea tree essential oil on each mollescum and a circle bandaid on each one. He started off with 16 bandaids. His were mostly on his legs and bottom. I would continue to put bandaids on until a few days after they had popped. But would still put tea tree oil on each one until they disappeared. Within a week we were down to 10 bandaids and then 7 and then 5 and then 3. They slowly disappeared. We have had no band-aids for 3 months now.
It was completely natural. A bit time consuming, but after having him reinfect himself for months it was worth the time and energy to me!
yes yes yes! we have been battling this too. i’ve bought a product that i love- it contains tea tree oil and black walnut. so good- they are dying off very quickly. the product is from wise ways herbal and cost me about $5. really good stuff!
VERY intersting! Skin is facinating!
