We found the advice on this forum so helpful that my wife and I promised ourselves that we would come back and leave our feedback. Our three kids at different points under 4 got MC. The girl's virus came and went without us almost noticing but our youngest contracted it last year at 4 months old. It started off as 1 or 2 spots on the elbow. Doctor said that would go away in 18 months. Two months ago it went BONKERS and spread down his arm, across his belly, back and down his legs. We decided that we were not going to wait for this to clear up as it was setting itself up for a body spread. So we considered info on this site, medical portals, scientific reports etc and we started our plan. Suffice it to say after 1 month we have eradicated this virus back to one spot on the elbow of our very clean little boy. We reckon this is the original'master' virus that started this off. Tomorrow will see us excise the core of that followed by disinfection as per plan. Our plan entailed nightly Qtip application of 5% Iodine to head of papule, then body spread of a lotion I prepared in an empty spray bottle. Lotion consisted of 50% cider vinegar/mother + calmiNE. Then put on Long sleeve vest, pj's and bed. Morning quick wash down + tea tree lotion.
