Removal of molluscum contagiosum
In most cases, in the absence of treatment, molluscum contagiosum tends to progress and spread to other areas of the skin, so the only way to completely get rid of molluscum contagiosum is to urgently remove all rashes using one of the methods suggested below. It is not recommended to carry out independent removal using any of the folk methods known to you, as the results of such treatment can be quite deplorable (keloid scars, burns, and even greater progress of molluscum contagiosum rashes).
If you experience symptoms of an illness, please consult a doctor.
Molluscum contagiosum is a contagious disease that affects both children and adults. Frequent outbreaks of this disease are noted in schools, kindergartens, sports clubs - where children are in close contact with each other. In adults, infection often occurs during sexual contact, during rubbing of areas of the skin with rashes of a sick partner against the healthy skin of another partner.
