About molluscum contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection that causes small, firm, pearl-like bumps with a central dimple. It is seen mostly in children, but adults can also get it through close contact, including sexual contact. The bumps are usually painless, may itch, and spread when scratched or when towels are shared. In people with healthy immunity it usually clears by itself within months to a couple of years. Avoid scratching, do not share towels, and cover the lesions during close contact; widespread or persistent lesions should be assessed by a doctor, since they can sometimes reflect lowered immunity.
