Complementary Medicine / Re: What is the treatment for molluscum contagiosum?
« on: 30/11/2012 22:26:59 »
Our experience started about 18 months ago. I saw two little spots on my two and a half year old granddaughters hand while we were on vacation. Needless to say that was the beginning of a major ordeal. These two inconspicuous little “dots” (my granddaughters name for her warts) manifested into a nightmare. The “dots” began to spread. They itched and were irritated after she would scratch them. It was also becoming a social stigma for her. I felt so bad for her when another child would say, “what’s that on your hands”. She would say, “They are my dots and walk away”. It broke my heart!
My daughter took her to her pediatrician in the beginning and he said let it run its course. After it began to spread to her other hand she took her to a local dermatologist. The dermatologist prescribed a medication to put on her hands. The prescription Imiquimod was $700.00 and the side effects for a grown person were unbelievable and here we were using it on a three year old. These “dots” were consuming my baby(s) in every way. We bought the prescription and started using it only to have the warts start up her arms and also on her knees. It seemed anywhere she got a cut or scratch they would attack. When my daughter found two on her face it was devastating.
I had researched treatment and everything said, let it run its course, freezing, duct tape and Imiquimod.
I came upon a blog written in 2009 and the woman stated, “I should have written this a long time ago but I am getting around to it now”. She said she did not remember the pharmacist but she did remember the pharmacy, Dartnells Pharmacy in Australia.
This is the good part, I Googled, Dartnells Pharmacy and sure enough there was a Dartnells Pharmacy in Surrey Hills, Australia. There was an email address, info@dartnellspharmacy.com.au I wrote to ask about the woman’s blog and got a reply that next day. That was on the August 8, 2012. I sent the email I received from them to my daughter. I traveled to spend the weekend with her family. Upon seeing my granddaughters little hands, arms and legs there was no question about it we were ordering the treatment. I returned home and wrote to Les at Dartnells to place the order. He replied right away and shipped out her order upon receiving my email.
My daughter received the medication on Friday August 17, 2012. I was away on a trip and forgot to ask if she received it. The following Tuesday August 21, 2012 I remembered and asked about her “dots” her reply was, “they are gone”, and I did not believe her. She took a photo and sent it to me. All I saw was beautiful little pink hands. I literally cried. I am amazed to say the least. I wrote and told Les at the pharmacy that I could not believe this to be true. He said to continue until we could not see any of them anywhere then for one week after.
It is September 17, 2012, they have been gone since August 31, 2012.
I will continue to spread the word to others here and around the world. This treatment works.
Thank you Les and all of Dartnells Pharmacy staff. My thanks go out to the woman that finally wrote the blog that I saw. Mostly I thank God for leading me to this information and that my little one started
Pre-K without any “dots”.
