Molluscum Contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus and is seen as small lumps with waxy, white centres. They are commonly found on the genital area, thighs or lower abdomen.
Molluscum contagiosum is spread by close bodily contact, on clothing or bedding or from one part of the body to another by scratching. Sexual partners will not necessarily become infected.
Symptoms
Molluscum contagiosum is usually painless but can sometimes cause itching. The condition usually resolves within 12 months.
Treatment
Molluscum can be removed by freezing or burning or picking out the centre core.
