Molluscum and Chicken Pox Link?

Why is molluscum invading our neighborhood and others around the country - is it a growing trend? How come I never remember it being an issue when I was a child. After doing some research, I have a hunch. When I was a kid (in the 1970's) we all got something else called Chicken Pox! But now we have a vaccine for chicken pox for our kids - however, maybe the vaccine does not create immunity for the closely related Molluscum virus. So when I was a kid and got Chicken pox - it made be immune to Molluscum. Maybe a doctor will study this subject some day! Don't forget to give me some credit for figuring it out. :-)

Update: Seems to be less of it in the schools now.

Silver Cure Slow but Might Be Effective against Molluscum

We have been using Silver Cure for 4 weeks now. Maybe it is working, but it is hard to tell. The area we have been treating is showing some signs of improvement, however, the Molluscum is spreading to other areas. We are almost out of the initial $34 1oz. bottle... so now we need to ask ourselves if it is worth another round. I'll attach an after picture so you can compare.

UPDATE: It looks like the Molluscum has cleared up completely! It took about 6 weeks to clear up the area in question and it did spread to another area... we started treating it as well... it seems to be subsiding more quickly (maybe if you catch it sooner it goes away faster).

UPDATE: After another 2 weeks I think we have the Molluscum beaten. I would recommend Silver Cure. Not sure if the Molluscum just ran its course or if the stuff really worked... needless to say, if we get Molluscum again I'll use Silver Cure on it.

Received Silver Cure

I received the Silver Cure for Molluscum about 4 days after ordering it. The packaging was a bit amaturish. I was surprised how small the little tub of petroleum jelly + tea tree oil + nano silver appeared. It said it would handed 100 treatments. After 4 days my guess is that it will handle about 30 days (60 treatments), but we will see. I have been using it on my son for 4 days now... no noticable difference yet. The Silver Cure site says it takes 2 weeks before you notice anything so we will see. I'm including a before picture of my son, then I will have an after picture as well at 2 weeks and at 30 days. Looks pretty gross huh!

Update: After 30 days it was gone... not sure if that was just the natural course of things or if it actually worked.

Oh No... Molluscum

So my 6 year old son was playing with one of the neighbor kids and contracted a nasty skin disorder called Molluscum. Basically he has little bumps all over his body and they are spreading. They don't itch too bad, but they don't look good. The doctors say that they should clear up in 3 months to 2 years... who wants to wait that long! I decided to purchase a "miracle cure" from some internet snake oil salesman... we will see if it works. I purchased some Silver Cure. Supposedly things should stabilize in 2 weeks and should disappear within a couple of months.
