My daughter(4yr.Old) was recenlty
diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum our
family doctor did not give us much info.
She scraped the bumps and sent us home
after doing some of my own research I
found many conflicting ideas on treatment,
so I asked for a referal to a
dermatologist, hwever they can not see her
for 3 weeks, until then should I let her
swim in the public pool, and go to
gymnastics, or will the bumps become
infected, and scar, or be transmited to
another child? How easy could she spread
it to her sister(7mths.)? Also shouldn't
the doctor cleaned the area before
cutting, and isn't there something they
could have given her for pain

Molluscum Contagiosum Posted: 06-29-06 19:07pm
I hate it when doctors dont give you then
info that you need. Often, I always leave
a doctor's office with a lot of questions
that are unanswered. When I have a
medical question that I want to know, I
usally go to the american academy of
dermatology's site. Here is an article on
what your daughter has: http://www.Aad.Org/public/public
