So, after receiving non-stop horror stories from people who complain that their doctors and dermatologists gave them bad advice, said to “wait for it to go away,” or only prescribed expensive creams and painful treatment methods… I have just written a letter to the American Academy of Dermatology, emploring them to take a few minutes to read my story and spread the word.
Pray that my letter makes it to the right set of eyes, and that they do in fact spread the word. If all the doctors and dermatologists of the world would take a few minutes and read my story, then thousands of people the world over could spared the pain, humiliation, frustration, and fear that this virus causes.
Well well, they wrote back…
“Thank you for contacting the American Academy of Dermatology. Unfortunately, the Academy’s policy prohibits the Academy from promoting websites that sell or endorse products. We are glad to hear you have experienced relief from molluscum contagiosum. The Academy will certainly look into research on tea tree oil for molluscum and make any changes to its public content, if necessary.”
That’s something I suppose.
Here is a recent study using a combo of tea tree oil and iodine spray. Going to try it on my 2 infected kiddos.
