  1. MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM HOME REMEDIES FOR ADULTS Unfortunately, there has been no evidence supporting the effectiveness of these treatments in randomized controlled studies. Therefore, the utility of these at-home remedies is difficult to assess. Most of these are harmless to put on the skin and therefore low risk, however some essential oils and tea tree oil are known to cause irritant contact dermatitis, which can increase the risk of molluscum spreading through autoinoculation. Apple Cider Vinegar Apple cider vinegar is often recommended on social media for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum bumps. Tea tree oil Tea tree oil, a natural essential oil steam distilled from the leaf of Melaleuca alternifolia , has long been used for centuries as an aboriginal traditional medicine in Australia for wounds and skin infection.

Coconut oil can be very hydrating to the skin and serve as an emollient in other skin conditions as well. Essential Oils Essential oils, including lavender and bergamot, are commonly used on the skin for a host of applications.
