But each place where the virus touches the skin will get a different "dose" amount of viruses and take a different amount of time for the viruses to form a bump. The time to develop is probably based on the "dose" of viruses in the area. The more firmly the white bump touched the skin, the faster the bump will develop in that area. Just from one touching event some bumps might start to develop after about a month and some might take several months to develop.
I think the body makes antibodies to the MC fairly quickly and I think the antibodies prevent too much self reinfection so I don't think the MC really "spreads" much on the same person as some people think, it's more you first see the bumps appear where the skin received a higher dose of viruses, and then lower dose areas take longer to develop.
Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver (CS) is considered to be a more potent antimicrobial than methylene blue, but a topical spray dries quickly and topical CS works more effectively while it is wet. You might try wetting a clean cotton cloth with CS and lay it on the affected area and wrap it with an ACE elastic wrap to keep it in place and slow the drying time for one hour. It dries after about an hour and repeat this a total of three times per day as needed. You can also use the CS with DMSO to enhance penetration.

Methylene Blue + Red Light

I had molluscum for a few months. After the first contact it took about a month or two and then they started developing as plain bumps and then after about two months developed into the fully developed white bumps. There were still new bumps developing after about three or four months.
I tried a lot of different treatments before and after they had fully developed. I tried ACV as the first thing I try for any skin issues which can help for normal skin maintenance, but it didn't help much. I tried Lugols iodine at various strengths, which was very, very painful at high strengths, and did not seem to be effective. The skin would peel off, but the moluscum did not seem to be much affected.
Then I found what seems to work very effectively with no pain is methylene blue, plus red light. Methylene blue 0.1%. And a red light panel with whatever the most effective wavelength is, something around 680nm.
Be careful, the methylene blue can stain everything it touches. So use some towels or clothing that you don't worry about being stained blue. I used a dropper to apply the methylene blue and then spread it around with my hand. I basically took a week off to be stained blue all over.
The infected skin seems to absorb more methylene blue and became more blue than the surrounding healthy skin. And then the red light further affects the blue parts and seems to preferentially kill the viruses. The red light also seems to help skin heal wounds faster. Use the red light for 30-60 minutes, up to several times a day. The molluscum white bumps seemed to heal up in about a week. For fully developed ones, the white core would seem to fall out. For smaller ones I think they seem to come to a head and the white core would also fall out faster. The blue color from the methylene blue wears off after about a week
After the treatment no recurrences after two years.

I think you need some way to get the colloidal silver to fully absorb into the infected skin for it to deactivate the viruses. But because the MC virus first gets deep in the under layers of skin it's not easy to get the colloidal silver down there.
Methylene blue 0.1% and DMSO to help get the MB deeper into the skin + red light seemed to work much better for me.

The pure clove oil on a cotton swab has worked great for me! My skin has been fine, since I only press it to the pox center. I do put a circle bandaid on ones that are likely to be touched by other skin to avoid spreading. I don't always see the white center turn brown, but it does seem to become inactive and disappear -very slowly. Haven't had any get large since using the clove oil.
Having a difficult time avoid self spreading, as they are on my chest to face area, which gets touched as I do simple daily things like pushing my hair awake or adjusting a shirt. Washing hands constantly and using paper towels to dry. Feel like this could go on forever. Afraid to hug loved ones.
Any tips for the scars for the big ones that I had before finding the post on clove oil. They are like craters! Luckily only a few, before I realized they weren't pimples
Thank you so much!

It is a virus based skin condition so two possibilities that you can discuss with your doctor are iodine or colloidal silver as topical, oral or both. You might also ask your doctor about using DMSO in conjunction with the colloidal silver or iodine for the topical application to help transdermal penetration.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Molluscum

I cured molluscum on my sons elbow in a week using ACV which was amazing.
Now my daughter has it appearing on her face and I am nervous the treatment will cause scaring. However I know I cant leave it or it could spread quickly.

None of those had any impact at all. It was awful when a spot would get infected and we'd try to open it so it could heal - just traumatic and painful and certainly no solution and then other spots would come up near the old spot even when we thought we'd been careful. She started getting a couple on her neck and face - visible and embarrassing.
I'm VERY glad I finally bought a bottle of topical treatment with thuja and Chelidonium (Greater Celandine). I really had no particular confidence in it, after everything. But regular application over a couple of months has made the spots change, and when they swelled, they had a dark core inside and they actually broke and scabbed and healed. She has no more active spots now, as no new ones are appearing. I can't describe my relief! Hope this helps someone else.

When my two girls were about the same age they had a case of molluscum contagiosum. I was able to get rid of it fairly quickly using Grapefruit Seed Extract. I diluted it as directed on the label and sprayed the affected site several times throughout each day and it went away. I remember it did burn when applied.
Try not to worry too much. This condition will eventually run its course.
Tea Tree Oil

Late January I noticed a small bump on my labia, I figure it was just shaving irritation and nothing to worry about as it didn't bother me at all. After 2 weeks of it being there and me noticing another one pop up close to it I told my boyfriend my concerns and showed him. He said it looks harmless and barely noticeable. I started to google random STDs- nothing looked like it. So I made an app to see my Gyno in early February. My gyno first said it was shaving irritation and with further examination said it was MC and showed me a few photos. The photos looked like 2 bumps I had on my belly for a few months, I showed her those and she confirmed those were also MC and if that is where they started then I likely spread them to my vagina via shaving or scratching. My fb had no signs of MC and this did not effect our sex life- he was no scared of getting it. Although I was scared to give it to him. We are unsure of where the MC came from. I go to the gym an spa and hot yoga so any of those could be possible. My gyno said we could freeze them. I made and appt to do so and went home to do my own research. That night I started Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) on the 2 mature ones on my belly- bandaid and cotton soaked in ACV, after 3 nights they turned black and fell off.so I canceled the freezing after self treating and learning freezing is not always effective and scars.
This was good but I couldn't do this on my sensitive vagina. So I started dabbing ACV down below. This lead to chemical burns and extreme itching along with the MC not getting better and spreading. plus is smelled terrible. I switched to Tea Tree Oil (TTO) morning and night. Wiped it on with a make up pad. I cleaned up my diet, worked out, ate a ton of fruits and veggies, lots of water, not using a wash cloth on my vagina just TTO shampoo and my hands to wash. Not shaving and not using a towel to dry off. I did this religiously from the end of February to the beginning of May (now) MC free... Finally.
The last month I have watched my MC spread and look so bad I never thought it was going to go away to disappearing before my eyes. I have a very strong immune system and I was so ready for my body to beat it, and it finally has! Some MC started to really come to a head after my showers and I used toilet paper to take those head off. I was using TTO harshly against my skin and that seemed to help make the MC mad and they started to die...turned flaky white and scabby and eventually just go away. It took a good month of this process but I can tell you it will go away. Just hang on and try not to stress.
MC is the biggest mind game... It steals your joy. I don't know if this has any merit but I stared eating mushrooms heavily during the clearing and I think they helped in healing me.
Clove Oil
My son is also having molluscum on his face, very tiny but on neck it is bigger one with white bumps. I have tried cream recommended by dermatologist. Even tried to apply ACV which was itching a lot to him and skin became black. After reading all articles trying now Tea tree oil+herbal honey in the night but I am not covering with cotton or banded as he has to go to school in the morning . Even how much banded will apply. So just applying with q-tip and leaving it as it is. Still no such good result. Of course the skin is becoming dry. As you are saying that u have used clove oil . Please guide me how to apply and really it will not give burning sensation to him. I'm afraid to apply any oil as he doesn't allow me to do anything as he get frustrated n starts to cry. I am so worried about him. Please help me. If I get good results with your recommendation will definately share my experience.
