Need some advice on treating this rash for my kiddos.  It keeps spreading horribly!!!  The dr. says not to treat.  I've read that it can last anywhere from 2months to 2 years.   It's very itchy and spreading.  So far I've tried.  Grapefruit seed extract dilution.  Tea tree oil / witch hazel.    Nothing is working.  I just started the tea tree so I will give it a bit more time.   I'm just worried I'm going to get it!  I know this is small in the scheme of things.  I think I used up all my coping skills from having IC.   thanks xxooo

Hi Amina! I have no experience with this rash, but Dr. M has me out liquid goldenseal on all my itchies. Might be worth a try?! I don't really know though! Hope something helps 2 years sounds like no fun at all! Neither does the 2 months, but let's hope for that. Hope you find something that helps!

Hi Amina,

 

My daughter had this - my husband bought a solution online called 'Moluscum no more'. It's completely natural - just various essential oils (I'm pretty sure about that but it was a few years ago). It cleared it all up beautifully in a few days. We've never had a problem with this since.
