My son has been battling this for 7 months. We got them all blistered but only half worked. Have been applying tea tree oil morning and night. They are coming to a head but not scabbing over. Did this happen to anyone first before they went away? How long did it take to work?

My 8 year old daughter has MC on the side of her face.. It first started last April with one small bump and now she has several on the right side of her face. Many children have the luxury of covering them up with clothing and/or bandaid but because of the location I do not. I now have teachers questioning what they are. I’ve been to the doctor and dermatologist and they all said it would go away on its own. It’s been almost a year and I just want the ugly little things to go away. She is becoming very self-conscience about them. I will buy a bottle of tea tree oil and soap from the health food store and hope that it works. If any one has any other suggestions please share..

I am so thankful to have found this blog! My son is 2 and has had MC since June. They first popped up behind his knee and spread quickly. He also has eczema. He now has over 50 bumps on his legs! It looks terrible and I am incredibly anxious when he is around other children. I have been avoiding play dates the last few months, even though he always wears pants. I am terrified he will spread this.

I tried the Conzerol cream advertised on the internet and found it to be incredibly sticky and messy. I didn’t see a positive result from using it a couple weeks, so I quit. My pediatrician prescribed Imiquimod cream to try to trigger an immune response, but that only made them spread.

I just found this blog five days ago. Since then i have given my son two bleach baths (1/4 cup bleach with a tub half full of water) , and started the tea tree oil treatment once a day. I have notice the bumps have started to scab over. I am so excited that this treatment may be working. Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences! It is good to know that I am not alone and eventually this will go away!
