What is it?
Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection seen in children. It appears as small, round, flesh-colored or pearly bumps with a central dimple. These bumps may occur on the face, trunk, arms, or legs and can spread through direct skin contact or shared items. While generally harmless, molluscum can spread and persist if not managed properly.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on controlling the infection, preventing spread, and reducing skin irritation. The dermatologist examines the number, size, and location of the lesions. Treatment may include topical medications, in-clinic procedures, or observation in mild cases, along with guidance on hygiene and skin care to prevent transmission.
