Molluscum contagiosum is an infection of the skin caused
by a pox virus that forms pink-to-skin
colored, dimpled, waxy bumps; typically 2-5mm in size. There
is a curdy-white material that can be found in the center
of each lesion (bump). They
can appear nearly anywhere on the body: legs, external genitalia,
torso, arms, neck and head. Though not dangerous, they are
aesthetically unpleasant and can become complicated by infections.

Diagnosis is most commonly made by a non-invasive survey of the
body, in which a qualified practitioner will note the features of
Molluscum contagiosum lesions. Molluscum contagiosum may also be
diagnosed by placing a specimen from the lesion onto a slide and
staining it with a Gram stain, which shows alterations in infected
cells. A diagnosis may also be made by viewing a specimen of a lesion
under an electron microscope.
The Molluscum contagiosum virus is transmitted from the infected
skin of one person with lesions (often referred to as "warts")
to the skin of another person. Molluscum contagiosum often spreads
among siblings and children because they have close skin-to-skin
contact as they interact. Molluscum contagiosum can also be sexually
transmitted if lesions occur on or near the genital area. Molluscum
contagiosum can be contracted from objects like towels and clothing,
though not nearly as common as skin-to-skin transference. Molluscum
contagiosum is often spread between children around swimming facilities.
Molluscum contagiosum will eventually go away on its own without leaving
scars (provided the lesions are not scratched or infected by other,
more damaging infections). The infected person tends to spread lesions
from one part of the body to another, so as one group of lesions subsides
another group may begin to form. This sometimes causes the person
carrying the virus to cope with the Molluscum contagiosum lesions
from 6 months up to 5 years before they go away. They can be much
more persistent and numerous (in lesion count) on people with a weaker
immune system.
- The social stigma - announcing to your friends that you or your
child has a contagious skin infection that has the appearence
of warts does not always go over that well, yet one needs to take
all the necessary actions to prevent passing the virus to other
uninfected adults or children.
- If scratched, the bumps can become infected by any number of
bacteria or viruses. An infected person must take extra precautions
to maintain excellent hygiene.
- In people with HIV, Molluscum contagiosum is often a progressive
disease that can greatly increase the number of lesions occurring
on the skin.
