I wonder if you are referring to molluscum.





Molluscum contagiosum consists of small, harmless growths caused by a skin virus. They resemble pimples with a waxy, pinkish look and a small central pit. Molluscum are contagious and are spread by direct physical contact. Molluscum occur most often in children.





In most cases, the lesions will heal without treatment over a period of six to nine months. Additional treatment options may include the removal of the lesions or


use of topical medications (to speed the resolution of the lesions). But they are not serious. I think it is just another word for common little warts that people get on their skin, and they go away on their own. Hope that helps.
Reply:Melasma consists of brown spots/patches on both sides of the face, especially on the cheeks, upper lips, nose and chin. The distribution is usually symmetrical. Melasma is mainly seen in women of child-bearing age.





The colour in melasma darkens during sunlight exposure. Melasma tends to occur during pregnancy and with the use of oral contraceptives.





Melasma may fade after childbirth or discontinuation of oral contraceptives, but it tends to persist.





What is the treatment of melasma?


One or more of the following may be tried:





Remove the underlying cause e.g. oral contraceptives.


Use sunscreen regularly and avoid sun exposure as far as possible. This will minimise further darkening of the lesions.


Bleaching agents such as hydroquinone can be used to lighten the colour. The treatment usually takes several months.


Cosmetic camouflage can be used to hide the colour.
Reply:There is a skin disease called molluscum contagiosum, which is basically a viral infection that spreads by skin contact. If that's what you have, it's quite treatable, so don't worry. Here's a website you can check out.

  1. Ok if you need to get rid of them you have to get rid of the dead skin, they feed on it. I use digestive enzymes on my skin, keep it out of your hair it dissolves dead skin, your hair and nails are dead skin. Mix it with water and some glycerin. Take some niacin at the same time, they will start coming out like crazy. For your hair use selenium, tea tree oil and jojoba oil. You can get selenium supplements in capsule form and add it to your shampoo or lotion. If you have it in your nose or sinuses use collidal silver nasal spray. If your feet are crusty the digestive enzymes you can get at the store will work. The niacin cleans it from the inside out and the enzymes take off the dead skin. Also, you may have some issues with fungus, which may cause the itching too, the selenium will help. If you can't get any relief you can try to pour hydrogen peroxide and some borax in the bath. Clean your floors with enzymes or borax, vaccum a lot if you have carpet. Keep dust to a minimum. You don't have to throw away pillows, just put them in the dryer on high heat. Wash clothing in hot water. After you are free don't reinfect yourself with ex-lovers or family members or treat them too.skin care
