My child has a skin problem, molluscum contagiosum. Do you have over-the-counter products available?

It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for skin issues such as molluscum contagiosum. In some cases, nurses can provide initial assessments and refer to a doctor if needed. While there are no over-the-counter treatments for this condition, it often resolves on its own over time. Covering the affected area can help prevent the spread of the virus. It is recommended for children to continue with their normal activities like going to school or daycare. Additional information on molluscum contagiosum can be found on reputable medical websites. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to a healthcare provider for guidance.
