Molluscum a type of wart Any decent dermatologist can treat Molluscum. I have had a few successes with ZymaDerm and no harm trying it. There is another way to treat them. Doctors noticed patients treated with antacid Tagamet for ulcers had their warts go away 40% or more of the time. Tagamet is safe and we used to treat 1 month old babies for 6 months until Nexium came along. There are very rare side effects like Advil. It does not make them drowsy and they will not have heart burn. Many doctors treated them with a high but safe dose of 20 mg for each pound of body weight every day for 3 months (or less if they are gone). The amount was divided into three times a day. So a 40 lb child would get 800 mg a day. That would be the maximum and not more than 800 a day. That is higher than the adult dose on the bottle but OK to give school age children. You can swallow or crush up the over the counter pills into food or have the doctor call out the liquid form of it. I have had many patients helped by this for typical warts as well as Molluscum. |
