What is Molluscum Contagiosum?

It is a chronic viral skin infection that causes raised, pearl-like papules. Typically, the lesions begin as a small painless papule, usually 2 to 5mm in diameter, which may raise up to form a flesh-colored nodule. Scratching or other irritation causes the virus to spread in a line or in groups (crops). Molluscum contagiousum is a contagious viral infection.
It is a common infection in children as it is contagious through direct contact, and is generally seen on the face, neck, arm pit, arms, and/or hands. It may occur anywhere on the body, including in the genital area.

In adults, Molluscum contagiosum warts are usually seen on the genitals as MCV is also sexually transmitted. Early genital lesions may be mistaken for Genital Herpes, but unlike herpes, Molluscum is usually painless.

The virus is very contagious, and should be treated to prevent further infection either to yourself, or to others.
