MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM
Molluscum Contagiosum is a self-limited viral infection that is transmitted through skin to skin contact. It is very common in children. Molluscum Contagiosum is characterized by skin colored lesions that are sometimes umbilicated. In most patients, they last about 6 months and then undergo spontaneous remission, however they may last up to 2 years in some people. They don't always need treatment however if not treated they may continue to spread. Treatment options include freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), canthacur, curettage or use of topical prescription creams like imiquimod (Aldara).
