Molluscum Contageosum (correct spelling Molluscum Contagiosum)

A common viral skin infection in children is molluscum contageosum. While it is most commonly found on the neck, arm pit, face, arms, and hands, it may also occur on other parts of the body. This disease causes small, raised skin lesions that are shaped like pearls. In children, the most common location is the upper body. In adults, it may be seen on the genitals where it becomes a sexually transmitted disease.

MCV (Molluscum Contageosum Virus) was first identified as far back as the early 1800s, but doctors have yet to develop a cure. This persistent strain of the poxvirus is easily transmitted through direct skin contact. Some of the common grounds for transmission include shared bath towels, baths, gym equipment, and benches. Contact sports such as wrestling have been known to be a means of transmitting the disease.

The ability of molluscum contageosum to thrive is enhanced in climates and conditions that are warm and humid. It is a viral condition that is not specific to any particular race or gender. It is a worldwide disease that can occur at any age. Because it is a virus, it will run its course; for that reason, many choose to just leave it alone. There are, however, documented cases where it has taken years for the outbreak to end.
