Well, this mother has "found" a cure, it has been heart breaking and frustrating to see my little girl suffer, to come home from school with blood all over her clothes and on her little body. She has been so brave and never moaned about them apart from when there sore and itchy, even then shes got on with doing her own thing.

2 weeks ago, once again they were inflammed, i mean sore, swollen red and sngry. l decided to give her a salt bath and i mean SALTY when she got out of bath she let me ***** the worst one(needles given to me by doc) and i put dettol antiseptic cream on. Because there is quite a few and she had others inflammed i had to take her to the doc to get the rest pricked as she was so sore and uncomftable, that night once again i did the salty bath thing, put the antiseptic cream on and put plasters over everyone, which must be about 20 after a few days they have started to flatten and some have GONE l am doing the same thing every night and i am having great results. l am sending this post in the hope no other kid has to suffer and their parents dont have to see there child covered by these disgusting spots, crying, sore and disfigured.you know she comes home from school and remember she is only 6, with blood running down her legs, blood all over her clothes and she does not complain one bit when i told her some of them had gone her eyes lit up so much l could have cried, she had the biggest smile id ever seen, i dont think she could of smiled any harder if ld given her the world, its been so sad seeing my baby suffer.

If anyone elses child happens to contact these "spots" id be so happy to help you deal with them
one happy mam
