Diagnosed With Muscullom Contagiosum, Have Blisters That Burst. Been Treated With Gels. What Can Be Done Now?
My child has been diagnosed with muscullom contagism. She's been treated with a clear gel that turns the bumps into blisters that burst. Problem is the bumps grow back in the exact same spot after they burst. She's been treated twice now. How much longer should I expect her to have this M.C. and where/how did she get it?
