Silvadene for treatment

I've seen some posts on here for SilverCure, the supposed "miracle cure" for molluscum. In researching, and piecing things together, I decided to try Silvadene, a topical cream that's typically used for burns and other skin lesions... You can only get it by prescription, I believe, but it really seemed to work for my son. I only say "seemed to" because I guess there's always a possibilty that he was coincidentally getting over the virus after 5 1/2 months from diagnosis, but when we began applying the Silvadene, about 2-3 times weekly, the lesions started disappearing. Just want everyone to be able to try this--I'm a firm believer that it worked!! After about 5 weeks of doing this, he is nearly CLEAR. The specks are still there from where he had some of the larger bumps, and I'll continue the treatment for another couple weeks, but he's sooooo much better. I did it infrequently because if too much of the silver is absorbed, it can cause problems, being that he's only 2. Feel free to message me about this.
