How do you treat molluscum contagiosum at home?

Do you want to get rid of those pesky little bumps on your skin without leaving the comfort of your own home? Well, look no further! In this article, we will give you some tips and tricks on how to treat molluscum contagiosum in the coziest way possible.

What is Molluscum Contagiosum?

Before we dive into treatments, let’s first understand what molluscum contagiosum actually is. It sounds like a fancy Italian dish that nobody wants to try, but it’s much worse than that.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a commonly occurring viral infection caused by a poxvirus called the molluscipox virus. It spreads through direct contact with an infected person or object, such as clothing or towels.

The infection usually starts as small raised spots on the skin and develops into slightly paunchy lesions with pearly white centers. While they may resemble pimples, be warned: these babies are not easy to pop!

Now for the main event; here are our top suggestions for treating MC from home:

Keep Your Skin Clean

As previously stated, MC can spread quickly between people who come into close contact with one another. Therefore it’s essential always keep your affected areas clean.

You can gently scrubbing the area during each shower or bath session in order effectively kill off any lingering viruses hiding around – this helps hamper spread too!

Instead of using harsh soaps which might damage sensitive skin tissues even further , opt for mild, less irritating alternatives that won’t disrupt natural ph balances instead!

Apply Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil has antiviral properties known for combating many bacterial infections including fungal ones like that other down-there pestering issue ladies have dealt with before.

To apply tea tree oil on MC, add 2-3 drops onto a cotton swab or pad and gently dab it over the affected area – Use with caution due to it’s intense fragrance.

Alternatively! combine one tablespoon coconut oil with ten drops pure tea tree oil as an effective medicated salve you can use daily!

Cover The Lesions

Apart from keeping your skin clean, covering individual lesions is also an excellent way of containing the virus while minimizing spread.

Covering up individual bumps using adhesive bandages is easy enough, but if you’ve got more significant larger spots we suggest hydrocolloid dressings that are widely available in drugstores near your place where condoms live.

What exactly are hydrocolloid dressings? They’re little watery sacs which prevent pus from oozing out whilst… well, this part’s subject-matter relevant; acting as a barrier that avoids further irritation!

Use Apple Cider Vinegar

With antibacterial and antiviral properties like those found in Native Mongolian Leopard seal saliva (Don’t try that at home), apple cider vinegar contributes some kind of benefit for improving the appearance of MC when applied correctly.

Dilute two tablespoons apple cider vinegar in 1/4 cup boiled water ahead using this topical mixture energetically rub problem areas vigorously after showering nightly without risking scarring or burning really sensitive skin types!!!!

During any application discomforts experienced by anyone performing virucidal therapies et al should stop treatment immediately then come back once molluscum irritations diminish gradually down to nothingness on its ownish terms

Well folks there you have it! We hope these tips help make treating molluscum contagiosum at home less stressful than ordering actual takeout Italian food during a pandemic lockdown!!!!!!!!!!
