Aila, have you asked doctor about that? I'd see a doctor.
They could be warts which are contagious. Glad you are going to the doctor~
It sounds like molluscum, which we've been battling with my youngest two for months! A dermatologist can put some liquid on them or scrape them off. Good luck!
Sounds like this has been going one too long. I would consult a doctor and not try to self medicate. It could be an alergy or something else in his system that is causing the outbreak. A virus usaually runs its course and usually does not keep reappearing. good luck.
Hello Aila:
You need to check the diet first for he/she may be allergic to something. Then check the kind of detergent and/or soap you are using. Moreover, do you have pets in the home for it may be ringworms from the animal. I contracted one when I was a pre-teen many years ago from a cousin's dog. Additonally, are they in the yard often? Is the grass chemically treated throughout the year? It may be something there too.
Lastly, it could be too much exposure to the sun (if this is the case). However, with skin problems you are ultimately better off seeking advice from a dermatologist. Please contact your doctor for a referral just to be sure it isn't skin cancer.
I would take him to a skin doctor.
My best advice is to seek out a dermatologist.
Hi I've never seen or heard of this before but take him to his doctor instead of tryig to treat it yourself.
I would take them to the dermatologist
Don't ever remove something when you don't know what it is. What did you ped. say when your son was born or very young? I would take the children to a skin dr. to make sure the things are removed properly and not contageous.
Both of my sets of twins have had what you're describing -- molluscum. With the older set, the dermatologist "froze" them off, but we had to go back repeatedly. (The last time the dr. office billed it as "surgery"- still trying to figure that one out with them - so be careful when you go in to ask how it will be billed!) With my younger set of twins, they used that beetle juice others have talked about. It did not bother them but do follow directions about washing it off later, etc. I have also heard that putting a bandaid over the bump can help too. The dermatologist also mentioned swimming pools, but he said the chlorine in them usually takes care of that problem. Good luck! It may take a while to get rid of them.
There is a cream I had them once they are like warts but they might have ezema look it up. Go to the doctor and get the precription for the cream.
Thanks for all your responses. I have an appointment tomorrow with his Dr. and we’ll know for sure what we are dealing with. I did look up online and it does look like the Molluscum that everyone seems to have experienced. I have actually seen a Dr. when the first 3 bumps started, and he said to let them run it’s course and it didn’t look bad. I just got concerned when it spread to my daughter and needed additional Mama support. Thanks and cross your fingers for the Dr. tomorrow!!
