MC find a cure
07-25-2008, 05:20 AM
My son is 2 yrs and its been a year with MC . i have read lots about it and there is not much research done on it to find a cure . why what etc...
treatment choices include:
Removing the viral material in the center by scraping the center briskly (curettage).
Freezing the skin growth (cryotherapy).
Putting medication on the skin (topical medication).
Taking medication by mouth (oral medication).
When the Pediatrician saw said its cause of sweat and when it started to spread i was worried and searched on internet and knew its mc . took my son to Pediatrician .. "nothing to worry it will go on its own" Then 2 more. i have been 6 times to the Pediatrician. My son has it on his face and one on the eye and under the eye. He had running nose and rubbing mc and spreading it on cheeks. 2 of then started to bleed. i wiped with dry tissue and it came off and then blood thought its gone but i can still see them. Sometimes when it grows big you can see the centre a white point coming out. Now on body.
I went to DERMATOLIGIST. They wanted to put some liquid. i asked for ointment. They said no this is spread its virus, you have to get it treated. I have spent a year reading about MC. And i know as its on face the liquid will leave marks on face. I told them it will leave marks on his face, they say even mc will leave marks on the face- WHICH IS FALSE. I know ALDARA ointment works well. I asked for it. They said fine for face we will precribe the ointment but the ointment doesnt work on body. You get it done on body. I cant treat the one near and on the eye. They said its not painful. WARTS liquid - applied to mc put a bandage and kept for 15mins. After 15 mins the nurse said i will take this bandage off and clean the area with soap and water. The removal of bandage was vey painful for my son and it got me in tears. She asked no to touch the treated area and it will fall off on its own and there will be blisters. The nurse said we dont know if this will work if it doesnt then come back and we will try something else. I was speechless.
Then comes the Dermatoligist --- i dont know if Aldara can be used on children, you ask pharmacist.
Nurse said dont use it near the eye and on the eye , dont touch the ointment with your finger , break a toothpick and use it. dont touch the area , use it at night when your son sleeps , and dont let it spread all over his face and lips.
At home i saw 2 blisters that scared me more, by evening one was huge , by night it was gone with skin hanging. My son had 3 on his body of which one is still there. Now for ointment ALDARA it will take of leash at least it wont spread, that was the main concern fine he got mc . I am waiting for a year for it to go and not to spread. Happy i got prescription for the ointment. Now comes the bad news its not for children under 11 years . NOW WHAT ITS DEAD END.
All I know it FREEZING THE SKIN GROWTH (CRYOTHERAPY) is the best but not for a 2 year old its painful and may leave scar as toddler skin is very sensitive. BEST TREATMENT FOR ADULTS.
As for duct tape solution i read , I can try on body but what about the face scars on face?
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS SEND AN EMAIL TO BABYTALK MAGAZINE I AM SURE THEY WILL HELP US FIND CURE FOR MC FOR OUR TODDLERS.
THANKYOU
