Hi Leanne

If I can remember rightly, both of my daughters had this, as you can tell from its name, it is contagious (once the 'pimples' are broken).

My girls were a bit older when they had it, 6 and 4, so the treatment was able to be explained to them, because it wasn't nice but it did work.

We were told to 'break' or 'pop' the spots and the put on a special cream (available only on prescription) I think it was Kenacort.

We did a couple of spots each night and then checked them regularly for anymore that came up and did them straight away!!
