What is Molluscum?
Molluscum is a common and contagious virus that is part of the POX family. It is commonly found in children 2-12 years old. It is characterized by hard waxy, and often white, pink or skin coloured dome-like spots or bumps with small indent or dimples in the centre. The Molluscum spots usually cause no discomfort, but they can cause itching in some cases, which leads to further spreading. Molluscum contagiosum spreads very quickly via contact or fomites. The virus only lives in the top layer of the epidermis and does not circulate in the blood. The most contagious part of the molluscum spot or blemish is contained in the core where the viral matter is stored, thus the potential for spread upon disruption.
The Molluscum spots can be unsightly and present anywhere on the body, including the genitals. The only place molluscum contagiosum generally will not be found are the soles of the feet and palms of the suffers hands. The reason for this is still unknown.
