Molluscum Treatment
A widespread skin infection, molluscum contagiosum develops from the MCV virus in the poxvirus family, resulting in small raised skin bumps or lesions. It spreads easily through direct skin contact or sharing personal items such as towels or clothes.
- Appearance: Molluscum contagiosum lesions usually look like small, flesh-colored, dome-shaped bumps with a central indentation or dimple. They are typically smooth and can vary in size from a pinhead to a pencil eraser.
- Location: Molluscum contagiosum lesions can appear anywhere on the body but are commonly found on the face, neck, armpits, arms, hands, and genital area in adults. In children, they often show up on the trunk, limbs, and face.
- Transmission: Molluscum contagiosum is very contagious and can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or by sharing contaminated items. It can also spread from one part of the body to another through scratching.
- Symptoms: Molluscum contagiosum lesions are usually painless but may become itchy, inflamed, or irritated, especially if scratched. In some cases, bacterial infections may occur if the lesions are scratched and become open wounds.
- Treatment: Molluscum contagiosum lesions may go away on their own, but treatment options include cryotherapy, curettage, topical medications, or laser therapy. Treatment may be recommended for cosmetic reasons or if the lesions are causing discomfort.
- Prevention: To reduce the risk of molluscum contagiosum transmission, it’s important to avoid direct skin-to-skin contact with infected individuals and refrain from sharing personal items. Practicing good hygiene, including frequent handwashing, can also help prevent the spread of the virus.
