263: molluscum contagiosum

Ryder has this nasty rash under both of his knees. It usually flares up when it's super hot. Jim got on the computer to figure out if it was more serious. He came across the name: molluscum contagiosum {sounds like something Harry Potterish}. I took him to the Dr. and sure enough, Jim's self diagnosis was correct! It's a viral infection of the skin. It could go away on it's own, or we could take him to the dermatologist and have them scraped off. We made the appointment but of course, they can't get us in till the end of November, by which time I'm praying they go away on their own.
