Audrey recently developed molluscum on her neck. I was hoping it would just go away if we washed really well a few times a day. To no avail, it was not getting better. I think we even had a few new bumps. I was so worried about her perfect skin having problems, that I got her into the dermatologist. They put beetlejuice on the bumps, and said that we should come back in three weeks. When I asked how many treatments she may need, the dr. said that three visits should do. This visit was considered a regular office visit, so we paid our $50 copay. The next two visits, however, would have to be coded as surgery. REALLY? I ask myself. I can paint as well as the next guy. REALLY? I only say that because the next two visits would each cost $110. Well, I did a little web browsing and asked my "natural" friends for advice. I kept coming back to this magic little oil called tea tree oil. I bought a small bottle of it at our local Sprouts for $6. We put it on once in the morning and once at night. We have been doing this for a week and a half now. Audrey's neck is already looking better. I'll let you know if the magic continues. In my research, though, I found that tea tree oil is good for so many things. If you are ever curious, you should google "tea tree oil." It always amazes me how nature provides such remedies!

That magic oil

2 penny for your thoughts:
I can't believe it! We too have dealt with those pesky bumps. Our Dr. sees one and sends us of to the Dermatologist. The specialist says one can turn into hundreds, so on goes the beetlejuice with instructions not to come back unless it doesn't go away or we get more.
I swear that some Dr.'s are in cahoots with the pharmaceutical companies for business with the way they write out prescriptions sometimes! You're right though, there generally is a natural remedy that's better for your body and less expensive too if you'll do a little extra research. I hope that your method clears up the problem soon.
P.S. I love tea tree oil anything. It makes your scalp tingle when it's in shampoo!
