Molluscum Contagiousum
Hi,
I have small white spots on my face, which aren't itchy or irritating. Got it checked with couple of dermatologists, and they diagnosed it as Molluscum. Got it removed once. Also, doctor prescribed zinc tablets for increasing immunity. Have been taking the tablets regularly. But these white spots have re-occured. I want them to go away as I have my wedding in 3 months. I have even attached my CBC and Ferritin blood tests report. Could anyone suggest me some home remedy or some tablets for this to be completely cured? Or should I go for homeopathic or ayurvedic??

Sometimes milia is confused or mistaken for molusc contagiosum...MC is common in children and rare in adults though it can occur in adults.. There are many ways to remove molluscum contagiosum... From chemical application or manual extraction, cryo or cauterization.... I doubt natural medicine or homeopathy will do wonders...
