Rash help... pediatrician said it’s Molluscum contagiosum, a continuation of what he had during the winter, but it’s way worse than it was. She gave us steroid cream which has done nothing despite using for 6 days.

He’s started grabbing at his legs and saying “owwie” today. His doctor’s office said doctor may call in alternate medicine, even though I’m telling them I think it’s not what she thinks it is. I asked for a referral or something to actually figure this out, and they said she’d call me during lunch (when I start work). Ugh.
Is it actually MC? Am I crazy?

I'm not a Dr and I'm sure she knows what it is but this looks exactly like the poison I had a couple weeks ago. EXACTLY like it.

I'm not sure, but the way its clumping together would make me concerned.

Update... Urgent Care said it was molluscum as well. She said the pearly white heads on each bump is what gives it away. She did give us a referral to a dermatologist, but they aren’t covered by our insurance. I’m going to ask my PCP to do the same, then we’ll know for sure.
I feel a little better with second opinion, but it still seems strange to me.

We got rid of molluscum with tea tree oil (dilute).
