To all those who are suffering. Just wanted to say that be clam and don't panic. Do proper treatment. When I was suffering from this I had taken much tension and because of it i was always in stress. The only natural thing that i would suggest to apply is apple cyder vinegar. I used to apply it without diluting. it burns a bit but works great. The most important part of the treatment that i feel is taking multivitamin medicines as prescribed from the doctor. As this disease comes due to lack of immunity. its very necessary to make your immune system strong. At last, the most crucial part of the treatment is patience. This thing takes time to cure.I hope this works for you guys.

I'm 31 years old I've had molluscum for 3 months now, 1 month ago is when I decided to start to treat it by myself at home, I have molluscum in the groin area. I started taking baths twice a day, and always wear clean underwear, but the most important thing that I started doing was to pour 76% alcohol in a plastic cup, and pour apple cider vinegar also in that plastic cup mix them and apply it with a piece of cotton or toilet paper all over my molluscum infected area and I would soak my skin and make it very wet with the alcohol/applecider-vinager mix, it burns a bit but it kills the molluscum pimples much much faster compared to when I was not doing nothing to treat it. This mix I make makes these molluscum pimples swell up a bit and after a day or two it makes them start to turn dark and that's how you know that the pimple is dying. also going to the beach and staying very long in salt water also seemed to help kill the molluscum quicker, that's why I go to the beach every weekend now and I take regular baths and after bathing I apply the alcohol/applecider-vinager mix on my body and I don't put on clothes until my soaked skin has dried up by itself, I just stay naked and let the vinager and alcohol finish penetrating my skin, that's how my molluscum have reduced greatly in number, in a couple of weeks I'll be totally free from this dirty molluscum contagiosum sickness. I wanted to share my secret with others
Hope it helps all af you, and also the higher the alcohol percentage in the alcohol bottle the better

Cure is clindamycin ped 75mg suspension.
After several doctors told me no cure for my child, suffered for almost two year with this. Until I did research and requested this medication to try. Worked immediately!

My experience and Solution:


1) Apply lots of powder (i used ponds) to affected area.
2) While showering if you can pluck 1 or 2 do it. (only if it comes out easily, do not force)
3) optional : applied black seed oil at night (wear underwear so oil does not spread)

it goes within 2-3 week.

My doctor is performing cautery on my lesions and it keeps coming back. She burns my lesions but doesn’t take the body of the mollusca out. I am also having zinc tabs to improve my immunity. Where am i going wrong?
