    My DD (who is 11) picked up molluscum contagiosm from a heated public pool earlier this year. It has totally put me off using them.

    It's vile. She's had blisters since February. The look like little pus blisters/warts. She originally had them all over her left eyelid. Very yuck. She then got them over her torso, her legs, hands

    They can take up to five years to go away. She has none on her face anymore but still some on her body. Adults predominantly transmit it sexually. Children mostly get it through heated pools.
