Children
Children can have molluscum for a long time. Research undertaken by Johns Hopkins University Baltimore found 50% of children have molluscum for at least one year.9
A separate study of molluscum contagiosum in children and infants by Cardiff University Wales found:
- the average length of molluscum infection is 13 months;
- 30% of children suffer for 18 months;
- 13% still have unresolved molluscum lesions at 24 months; and
- molluscum infection is transmitted to other children in 41% of families.8
Several medical studies indicate that children prone to atopic dermatitis and eczema have more molluscum lesions that last longer.4,13 Other studies have shown an association with swimming and bath sharing and molluscum contagiosum.10,11,12

Use Mollenol Sensitive for children 2 to 14 years. Mollenol Sensitive should also be used on sensitive areas (face, under arms, back of knees, and private parts) of children older than 14 years and adults.
Get working quickly
If your child only has a few molluscum bumps get working quickly to stop the spread. The spread of molluscum, the viral contagion, increases the number of bumps and lesions, and often the length of time until resolution. Friends and family become more likely to be infected and develop molluscum.

Testimonial: "We used Mollenol Sensitive on our daughter ... now my little girl is free of all issues she had. Very happy to recommend this product to others. We have over half a bottle left so we think this is also great value for money as well as truly working where other lotions didn't. The help they offered was great." Paul (Sydney, Australia)*
Testimonial: "We were so pleased a friend recommended Mollenol Sensitive when our 6 year old developed molluscum contagiosum. Results overnight with obvious healing & no harsh ingredients. Resolved within 3 weeks. Our 3 year old then came out in 2-3 spots & the Mollenol nipped it in the bud super quick, hers completely resolved within days. Our GP was so impressed ... she made a note to inform her colleagues of the product as she had never seen such effective results from a topical treatment. Thank you Mollenol!" (Janette, Bristol)*
