If you’ve ever seen those little white bumps — often on kids’ backs or legs — you’re likely dealing with molluscum contagiosum. It’s a common viral skin condition, but it can be stubborn and annoying. Good news: there’s a simple, affordable fix you can do at home!
Here’s how:
- Cimetidine (400 mg) – This acid reducer also has off-label uses for skin conditions. Crush two tablets into a fine powder.
- War Stick (Salicylic Acid) – This helps break down the outer layer of the skin, making it easier for the treatment to penetrate.
- Mix Them Together – Combine the crushed cimetidine and a bit of War Stick until you get a smooth paste.
- Apply Twice a Day – Gently rub the mixture onto the bumps morning and night.
In about two weeks, those bumps should start to disappear — and bonus: this trick works on skin tags too. A simple, inexpensive solution that gets the job done!
