Awesome product!
By LisaDF
This product, Zymaderm, had an immediate effect on the reduction in severity of the Molluscum Contagiosum (MC) bumps on my 3 year old son. It was a saving grace for us. He had about 25 very ugly bumps with the white core on his face and elsewhere by the time we figured out what he had. The doctors said to leave it alone, it would go away on it’s own, but it kept getting worse. It’s horrible to look at when it’s really bad. I found out about Zymaderm on a message board; thank goodness we tried it. We could see a huge difference after only one application. It seems to dry up the bumps and suck the life right out of them. Best of all, it is painless. After about 2 weeks of one application per day at bedtime, the bumps were almost completely gone. A couple of the oldest bumps were more resistant. The MC is a virus and can last years. My son has had it for about 4 months now, and we’ve been using the same bottle of Zymaderm for about 2 months. We still have half a bottle, as you use very little at a time. I inspect his entire body nightly after his bath for new bumps. If you treat the bumps regularly when they first appear, when they are visible as teeny, tiny pimple-like bumps, they don’t seem to develop into the big white things, and are barely noticable. Other tips that helped stop the spread: a)no baths, only showers, and fresh towels each night. When the white head seems ready to erupt, a good long shower will soften the skin and the white core can be swiped out gently with a towel but be sure not to use that towel to dry the unaffected parts of the body or it will spread. b)treat with Zymaderm after the core comes out and bandage the bump for 24 hours until it heals up a bit, to prevent infection. He is down to about 7 or eight bumps now, and I treat them with Zymaderm religiously. They are on his face but you can’t even see them unless you’re inspecting his skin like I do. Now the MC is something we can live with until it is gone for good. Luckily, no one else in our family has contracted it. I highly recommend this product.

By freenergy
I’m a 32yr old male, I contracted molluscum recently from god-knows-where. I had about a couple dozen bumps of varying size on my face, and well, I was freaking out! The dermatologist gave me Aldara, which I did buy, but reading the side-effects of that made me a bit nervous. I found Zymaderm on a web-search; I have a healthy suspicion for “wonderful” products sold on the net, so I did a bit of research. I checked out the patent application for Zymaderm (in the public domain at the USPTO) and it seemed legit, so I went ahead and bought it.
I’m not prone to writing reviews, but I’m writing this one because I’m so thankful for this product. The results are absolutely great! Most of the bumps disappeared within a week, and the rest disappeared in the second. The older the bump, the longer it seems to take. At this point, i.e. after two weeks of using it, I have just one bump left on my face, and it is not growing.
From all the literature search I did on Molluscum, I figured out that there is no real medication for it. Aldara is supposedly effective to an extent (I never even tried it), but as I said just reading the side-effects gave me the heebie-jeebies. Zymaderm is absolutely effective, and I had no side effects at all.

Worth a shot, just manage your expectations
By Joe V
From reading the reviews here, it seems obvious that ZymaDerm works for some people but not for others.
After unsuccessfully treating mulluscum using SilverCure on my son, I decided to try ZymaDerm. The difference was night and day. Within a month, the ZymaDerm knocked out the smaller molluscum bumps and stopped the spreading. There is a big “mother colony” right at the joint where the forearm meets the bicep that is more treatment-resistant, but visible progress is still being made.
I would suggest just order one bottle. Don’t take advantages of any discounts offer on a second bottle until you absolutely know the ZymaDerm will work for your child.

Like others who have commented here, I was a little unsure about buying and using this product on my 4yr old son. I had taken him to the doctor for what looked like a rash under his left arm. After a referal to the skin doctor it was diagnosed as Molluscum contagiosum. The doctor froze about 20 bumps that same day. A week later it had spread further down his side and the whole freezing process was very painful for my son. I was given an expensive cream and told to come back in two weeks for another round of freezing. I couldn’t bear to watch my son go through that again. Thats when I got online and found Zymaderm. I read most of the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. The treatment arrived in the the mail very quickly. I began applying it once a day, usually at bedtime. The smell is a little overwhelming, but not too bad. Be very careful not to spill it though, it can overpower a room. The treatment did not sting when I applied it to his bumps and the applicator made it easy. Within the next two days I noticed that the bumps I had applied the Zymaderm to had broken open and were beginning to heal, but I also saw new bumps appear. Due to a very busy summer, I became very lax about putting on the treatment and it spread somewhat. My son was getting ready to start Kindergarten and I didn’t want him to have the bumps when he started. Two weeks before the start of school my son and I agreed that we were going to try very hard to get rid of the bumps once and for all. We began applying the ZymaDerm twice a day and within a week and a half they were all gone. It was amzaing!! I kick myself for not keeping up with the treatment when we first started. I highly recommend following the directions to a tee. I’m looking foward to going back to the doctor’s next month and showing them what an amazing product ZymaDerm is. Painless and quick. If your child suffers from Molluscum Contagiosum there is no harm in trying all natural Zymaderm. I’m glad I did and so is my son. Thanks.
Did Not Work for Us…
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
My 3 year old son had molluscum contagiosum for 6 months and we tried everything out there (cidar vinegar, tea tree oil, aloe gel) before turning to zymaderm. Unfortunatley, Zymaderm did not work for us. We saw no noticeable inprovement when using this product. However, it is worth a try though if you are at your wit’s end as it seems to work for some, but not others. My son’t molluscum eventually went away on their own. It is a frustruating virus, but eventually the body will recognize it and fight it.
Wow, it worked great!

Our 5yo daughter had gotten a small patch of molluscum contagiosum on her arm in April. By October it had spread to both arms, both legs and a few on her tummy. We tried Aldara when it first broke out. All it did irritate the skin and leave the bumps . Next we tried Silver Cure. It didn’t seem to do anything noticeable. Out of desperation I ordered ZymaDerm three weeks ago. Now her bumps are pretty much gone!
The medicine doesn’t burn or ittitate her skin. It’s a little time consuming to dab it only on the blisters (my child had well over 100!), especially if your kid is wiggly, but worth it. The best method I found was after soaking in her bath, when her skin was soft, I rubbed the bumps with a towel until the top layer came off. Then put the medicine on. It’s the kind of thing that looks worse before it gets better. The towel rubbing was a bit uncomfortable, but after a few baths, all of them had been exposed and they started drying up with the medicine. Within days we saw results. After being told that this could spread and last for two years, I am so happy!
10% benzoyl peroxide worked for my son
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
My son had molluscum concentrated heavily around his chin and eye and it spread all over his face and neck and to his chest. They spread from opening of the lesions when scratching or rubbing. Don’t share towels or washcloths. Use a clean washcloth every time you clean your child after messes or eating and put it in the soiled laundry after use. Treat the infected area with 10% benzoyl peroxide (acne) cream or gel, twice a day. Any cream will work; I used zapzit (sp). Be careful when applying around eyes and mouth. You should see results within 7-10 days. Once the lesions are gone, they are no longer infectious as the virus lives in the skin. Stubborn bumps or those under clothing can be treated by covering them with tape until they disappear due to suffocation. Nexcare 3M waterproof tape works the best (for warts too).
totally works

As an MD, I was a little skeptical that this product was going to work. We’re taught that MC is treated by scraping, burning or other methods that can hurt and/or cause scarring. My recommendation to patients in the past was to wait it out. We tried that with my daughter for a couple of months before we broke down and figured we’d give this stuff a try. My daughter absolutely hated the smell and application was tricky because she didn’t want to hold still but it cleared all of her MC in 3 weeks. Unbelievable. I’m shocked this isn’t a patented Rx product. From the reviews I’ve been reading online my guess is that this stuff works about 80% of the time. That’s an impressive feat for any drug. This is my new recommendation for pretty much anyone with MC.

This item DID NOT WORK. I used it every day for a month, and all it did was irritate the skin to the point where I now have a red rash in addition to the original issue.
Never written a review before!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Wow. Never in 35 years have I written a review for ANY product. My 3 year old son had mollescum on his back…5 spots that started to spread quickly. His dermatologist wanted to freeze them…burning and pain..I decided to research on my own and found the reviews of ZymaDerm and decided it was worth a shot. It hasn’t even been 2 weeks and WOW! The mollescum are completely gone! No scars, and he is olive skinned – this was a huge worry for me. His skin is so smooth and I swear, you can’t tell he ever had even a small bump! The bottle is still 99% full…well worth the money and no pain to my son..highly recommend!
This works – eventually
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My daughter had around 50 molluscum all over her legs, they just kept spreading even though she was being very good at not scratching them. The Doctor said to leave them and they would go eventually but after 7 months I decided to try Zymaderm. I used it once a day for 2 weeks and nothing happened, but after using it twice a day for 6 weeks some of the spots bled then disappeared – no scars. It takes time but it seemed to work. Unfortunately sometimes the spots get bigger before they go and sometimes I had to give her skin a rest for a week or so as the Zymaderm seemed to make her skin sore around the spots.
IT REALLY WORKS!!!

I purchased this product back in 2005 for my niece. This product was a life saver, it cured the Molluscum Contagiosum and with ZERO side effects and most importantly no pain!!! IT REALLY WORKS!
Speedy delivery but please go to a dermatologist instead!

My daughter had MC, supposedly contracted in the swimming pool. By the time I realized the domed dots were not some allergic rash, they had spread all over her torso and thighs. I took her to our dermatologist and found that they could last as long as a year which was unacceptable. She had three treatments of a blistering solution every three weeks before she was free of MC. Unfortunately she developed an extreme case of eczema as a side effect but that was also treated with a prescription ointment. The whole process was a pain.
Than a few months later, I found a few ominous dots on my son’s arm. I did not want him to go through the same ordeal, so I waited, but they were spreading. I did some research online and finally bought this product. It was shipped as soon as I ordered it, and I got it in two days with no special delivery. That’s why I gave 2 stars- for prompt delivery.
But does it work? I don’t think so or if it does work, it takes too long and in the meanwhile the dots keep spreading as was the case with my son. That’s the problem with kids, especially the younger ones. They are not careful. They will touch, scratch, and not only infect their bodies but they also infect other bodies. They can’t help it. That’s why so many kids have MC. It’s a vicious cycle!
I took my son to our dermatologist. He had no side effects, and he’s well on his way to being MC free, and I have a peace of mind. If you are worried about the scars from the blistering solution applied by a dermatologist, don’t worry. My daughter’s scars gradually faded away, and her skin is extra-sensitive.
So I’m not denouncing this product. Rather, I’m recommending seeing a dermatologist for a faster and effective solution to this highly contagious infection. It’s the responsible thing to do.
Worked for our two daughters
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This product seemed to work, although Molluscum goes away on its own, so we can’t prove it. It did seem to halt what looked like was going to be an endless infection . The “bumps” get smaller, dry out, flatten out, then disappear. Zymaderm stinks, but it is not unbearable – it is supposed to be medicinal after all. We don’t need perfumes to mask it. The Molluscum was diagnosed by our family physician, by the way, not just by us as parents. She did not, however, suggest this product – that part we did on our own. Also, the product instructions make it clear that you should not continue use if a rash develops. Everyone is different, so this is not surprising. Our girls didn’t have any rash or any other adverse reaction. It is well worth a try. The Molluscum was far more troublesome than our physician told us it would be, and it spread far faster as well. All in all we are very thankful that we found this product and that it worked so well.
Thank you Zyma Derm!!!

Oh my goodness…I highly recommend this product. My four year old son had Molluscum on the back of his legs, and spread rapidly because the bumps were in the same place as his eczema. Like everyone else (I’m sure) we had a very hopeless feeling when the doctor said there was nothing we could do but wait it out. Wait it out?!?!?! It just did not seem like an option. They kept spreading and if it took two years like he said, it would have been everywhere. I so desperately did not want him to feel self conscious or be made fun of. Thanks to ZymaDerm, he is almost “bump” free after two weeks. It has not burned him or made him itch, as I was very concerned that it would hurt his eczema and sensitive skin. It has been such an answer to our prayers. It would definitely be worth a try for anyone who has this. Good luck!
Worst Customer Service – Naturopathix
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I did not get this product so this review is not about the product performance. but gosh i do have to share the experience of dealing with the customer service at Naturopathis. I should have just ordered at Amazon; instead i ordered for Zymader direct from naturopathix. I ordered on Sep 8th. I got a order confirm. Having got no update of my order i called on Sep 18th to check on the status. I was told i will be emailed. No email still on Sep 21st. So i called. This rude girl told me it was very difficult to get the shipping department on Monday. anyways she confirmed my address and email id. I was told i will be emailed tomorrow by the latest. Still i was asking only the status of the order. Then having got no follow up till Sep 23rd icalled again. I was very frustrated at this point to keep repeating my name etc. Anyways this guy assured me i will know (call me) by the end of the day, still i am only asking for a status ( i am not even asking why dint you ship….i just wanted to know whats happening with my order). Evening i was fuming. Anyways this girl told me this never happens, very unusual that i havent recieved the shipment. SHe went in to check and came back saying Briant sent a email to you. I didnt find any. I asked her if she could tell me, she goes i wouldnt know that only the supervisor Briant can tell you that. So i said i will wait and talk to him because he is busy on another call. i waited and waited while she was trying to talk me out of waiting; then she said she would have to disconnect and that Briant would call me huh. I said fine i want to cancel my order ( but i was desperate trying to find something for Molloscum for my 3 yr. old). She said i will cancel and email the details and disconnected the phone very abruptly. Oh my God! that was it, i called back and said very rudely that i would like to talk your super busy Briant. ( oh by the way i got no email about my cancellation). That ……guy came on the phone and was like telling me he will have to try and find the tracking number and ofcourse they can only get back to me with that info. I said wait a minute i am not going anywhere and i wanted the info and will wait. He said you dispute the credit charge and you will be provided with a refund and hung up the phone!!!@@###
I cant telll you how frustrating and maddening this is……i am oh god so i have to take some action agains them….dont know what…

My son is 3 years old and has molluscum contagiousum For several months. The pediatricans said to me on several occasions that their is nothing to put on it and it will go in a few years. But seeing those bumps every day and slowly spreading, I had to do something about it. I did research online and found this product and had it rush delivered just before thanksgiving. It’s been one month and I had to write this review to tell all worried moms to buy this product. It has worked really well. The bumps are 98% gone and I only put on the medication once a day and sometimes I missed a day. The best thing of all is the feeling of relief to see the bumps almost gone. The medication dried them up. I’m still putting the medication on until the pink dots disappear because I really don’t want it to come back.
Skeptics Rejoice!

My daughter (7) got mollescum. Not knowing what it was but knowing the tons of skin infections out there, I let it go for a few weeks. By the time we got to the doctor 3 weeks after her rash became widespread, the doctor took one look and backed away. I knew it was something pretty significant. She told me how contagious the viral infection is. This was one week into the new school year. I asked about school, the doctor sighed and finally replied “well, you can’t keep her out forever”. I panicked.
I read all the literature, took my daughter to the dermatologist where she had all the “scummies” burned off her arms and legs. (The ones I didn’t see because I was focused on the big ones on her torso.) I kept her out of the neighborhood pool, warned her playmates, (no sharing dress up clothes) disclosed it to her teacher letting her know we’d be putting our daughter in long sleeves and pants despite it being August in Georgia. At home we had a “scum” pile for every stitch she touched- clothes, towels, sheets.
Being a fan of holistic products when I can use them, I did a search and found out about Zymaderm. If you’re looking for the at home formula, don’t waste your time. Not only is there not one out there, but if there were, you’d spend so much making a batch that would most likely produce more than you’d ever need. I purchased 1 bottle of Zymaderm, hitting the purchase button with a huge grain of salt. Knowing the severity of my daughter’s outbreak, I figured we’d have to purchase a second bottle in the near future if it worked.
NOTE- in my research, I also read that Tagamet has an antiviral property that seems to be effective against mollescum. The warnings were that it’s *just* Tagamet, not the competitors or knockoffs so I was sure to get Tagamet which I split in half and gave once a day.
The second day I had my bottle in hand, I found “scummies” on my son’s armpit. (10) I began putting Zymaderm on his and they went away within 2 weeks. My daughter’s mollescum, of course, took longer, but it DID go away! I was prepared for 6 months to 2 years, closer to 2 years with my luck! But that was August, we’re fast heading into November and I haven’t thought about mollescum for at least a month! The bigger ones were the last ones to disappear, but the fears I had when I learned about mollescum are distant memories, I’m sure because of the Zymaderm.
I don’t write reviews for things which already have a bunch of reviews unless the common thread is an experience I didn’t have. But I read the Zymaderm reviews with skepticism and was overwhelmed by the wonders Zymaderm did for my family. No more “scum” piles, no more rolling around in bed searching for new eruptions, just life as normal so much sooner than 6 months. If you’re cynical, don’t be. This stuff WORKS!
