My 7 year old son has developed a cluster of what look like little blisters on his arm. I thought they were warts as he has some on his hands but they have become itchy and he has now developed some more on his back, and a couple on his face. They are a white/cream colour and just look like a little blister. He is scratching them and they are becoming red and sore. My doctor didn't seem to know what they are. Check Out the Answer

My 4 year old was recently diagnosed with Molluscum contagiousum. After visiting a dermatologist, who cut all of the "pimple like" spots open and then scraped them we have noticed that they are still present. Is the only option to have this done cutting and scraping again? It was painful for my son and obviously the dermatologist was hasty and even missed several of the spots. (I plan to see a different dermatologist.) Thank you for any information.... Check Out the Answer
