| Description | DEFINITION Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common viral infection that affects the skin and mucous membranes. Found to have higher incidences in tropical climates within developing countries, the disease is benign yet highly contagious1. It can be a source of significant cosmetic concern and social discomfort. The infection mostly targets the pediatric population, sexually active young adults, and those who are immunocompromised. It requires limited medical intervention and usually results in complete recovery within 6-12 months. In special populations, such as the immunocompromised or those suffering from underlying skin barrier disorders, recovery is more challenging and prolonged. Book Name: Genital and Perianal Diseases |
