My daughter has molluscum contagiosum can i use any of these 3 things to put on the bumps i have : metronidazole , nystain ointment, econazole?

Molluscum contagiosu: Moluuscum is caused by a virus and none of those 3 meds will work to eradicate it. Like warts, they can last for 2-3 years and fall off. The main problem is its rapid spread. Its treatment should be performed by a dermatologist or a physicain who has had experience in treating it.
