Poor little Pips came down with a case of moluscum contagiosum about 6 months ago.  It is a children’s rash that has no cure, but fixes itself after 8-12 months (when her immune system starts rejecting them).  The rash was pretty benign until just recently.  Lately, Pippi has been itching those bumps like crazy, and making herself bloody and raw.  And as a byproduct of her itching, I have notice that those bumps are spreading.  Poor thing, but we have a few simple tricks — we cover her itchy parts with clothes or Band Aids, and I taught her how to tap them instead of itch them.  So she taps so fast, but then usually starts scratching.  Poor thing.
We are both crossing our fingers that these things start disappearing quicker than the new ones are popping up.
