My 5 year old has molluscum everywhere on her legs, arms, torso and neck. It's been almost 3 months and it's getting worse. One night she had so many (what looked like infected bumps) on her inner thighs, I put anti-biotic triple ointment on her inner thighs, covered with large bandage. I swear by morning most of the bumps were smaller and many were gone. Over the past week I have been covering her bumps with this ointment, and using a bandage to cover them. I've read that depriving them of oxygen helps kill the virus faster. Well, it's been a week now since I started and I would say almost 90% of her bumps have faded or disappeared.
