molluscum contagiosum - #17494

I first noticed these small, round, painless bumps on my son’s arm about two months ago. At first, I thought it was just some kind of rash or allergy, but then I saw more of them appearing on his chest and behind his knees. The pediatrician diagnosed it as molluscum contagiosum and said it would go away on its own in a few months to a year. But honestly, waiting that long feels frustrating, especially since the bumps seem to be spreading. The doctor mentioned that molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus and is contagious, which has made me really anxious. My son is only five, and he keeps scratching the bumps even though I tell him not to. I’m worried he might spread it to other parts of his body or even to his little sister. I’ve been washing his clothes separately and keeping his towels and bedsheets clean, but I can’t control him touching his skin all the time. I read that some treatments involve freezing or scraping the bumps, but that sounds really painful for a child. I also came across natural remedies like neem, turmeric, and tea tree oil, which people say can help with molluscum contagiosum. But I don’t know the right way to use them or if they’re actually effective. Does Ayurveda offer any herbal treatments or pastes that could help dry out the bumps faster? Another thing I’m curious about is immunity. If molluscum contagiosum is a viral infection, does it mean his immune system is weak? Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or dietary changes that could help his body fight this off naturally? Should I be giving him anything to boost his immunity and stop the virus from spreading further? Lastly, I want to know if there’s anything specific I should avoid—foods, oils, or certain fabrics that might make molluscum contagiosum worse? I just want to make sure I’m doing everything possible to help him heal quickly.
