What to do if your child has molluscum

Molluscum is an infectious skin disease caused by a virus infection. It is highly contagious and is usually transmitted through direct physical contact, such as in a public bathroom or while swimming. If a child suffers from molluscum, parents will definitely be very worried, and the solution becomes the most important thing. So, what should we do if children develop molluscum? Let’s look at the solution below.

Molluscum warts in children are becoming more and more serious , and the incidence rate is particularly high. Many children will have symptoms of the disease, resulting in severe skin lesions and more harm to the children. After the child's skin becomes ill, local treatment should be emphasized. Generally, phthalidone cream can be used for treatment. This drug has an antiviral effect and is applied directly to the surface of the child's warts 2-3 times a day for three weeks. After the course of treatment, if the molluscum warts cannot be eliminated, they need to be scraped or pulled out.

Fluorouracil solution can also be used externally . Patients should apply it 2-3 times a day for two weeks. A small amount of liquid medicine should be dipped on a cotton swab and applied directly to the top of the child's warts, which can have a better therapeutic effect. Alternatively, you can use vitamin A acid solution for external use twice a day for two weeks, but you must protect the skin around the child and pay attention to skin hygiene.

In addition, phenol alcohol can also be used topically for treatment. A small syringe filled with liquid medicine should be used, and then it should be aimed at the site where the skin lesions occur, and the medicine should be applied one by one, preferably in the center of the wart. Generally, each wart needs to be applied twice. After ten days, the skin lesions will fall off on their own. During the treatment, the child's diet should also be adjusted, and the diet should be kept light.

After understanding the above introduction , everyone has a very good understanding of the treatment methods for molluscum in children. Children's skin is particularly delicate. After molluscum occurs, it is necessary to pay attention to the treatment. We should have a deep understanding of the treatment measures of the disease. Only early treatment can alleviate the child's condition. In addition, parents and friends should also pay attention to the recovery of the child's skin. If the recovery is abnormal, they should be vigilant.
