Molluscum Contagiosum:

• • Are cause by the Molluscum Pox virus and are mildly contagious
  • May affect the face, limbs, trunk and genitals
  • Virtually never affect the palms, soles, cervix or inside the vagina
  • May be present for months, weeks or years before they are noticed
  • Are not painful and usually produce no symptoms
  • Do not cause precancerous or cancerous changes in the skin or cervix
  • Are spread by touching the spots
  • Are common in children and are transmitted by touching in a non-sexual fashion
  • In adults with lesions on the inner thighs, lower abdomen, genitals and buttocks, the spots are usually transmitted by sexual contact
  • Will resolve spontaneously, but this may take months or years
  • When molluscum start to resolve spontaneously, the spots become red, swollen and may form a central “white head” like a “pimple” or look infected
    • They are not truly infected
    • This is just the body’s immune system destroying the spot
  • Are not herpes (genital herpes, herpes simplex)
  • Are not warts (condyloma accuminata)

• Molluscum Contagiousm can usually be eliminated in 4 to 6 treatments, spaced 2 weeks apart
• In cases with genital lesions, intercourse must be avoided until the spots have disappeared, otherwise they may be spread to the sexual partner
• There is a 30% chance that molluscum may recur weeks or months after treatment is completed
  • This may result from re-infection from another person with lesions, or reactivation of dormant virus in the skin
• There are no pills, “antibiotics”, or injections that are effective to treat this infection

Liquid Nitrogen:

• Is a freezing spray used to destroy the lesions
• The treatments are painful and the area treated may remain painful for 1 to 2 days
• The treatment may produce scabs, crusts or blisters
  • This is normal
  • If the blisters are painful, pop them with a sterile needle to let the fluid out
• The treated area requires no special treatment
• You may bathe normally
• A bandage is not necessary
• These treatments are done every two weeks

Cantharone:

• Is a liquid that produces blisters when applied to the skin
• The application of the medication is painless
  • Blisters may form within 24 hours and may be painful
  • This is normal
  • If the blisters are painful, pop them with a sterile needle to let the fluid out
• Treatments are done every 2 weeks
• Cantharone will produce blisters if it is applied to normal skin, the eyes or mouth
  • It is very important that the treated area not be touched until it is dry
