Pediatric molluscum contagiosum: reflections on the last challenging poxvirus infection, Part 2.
Cutis; Cutaneous Medicine for the Practitioner 2010 December
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common dermatologic infection that usually affects school-aged children, sexually active young adults, and immunocompromised individuals. It is a benign and self-limiting disease, with most cases undergoing spontaneous resolution within 6 to 9 months. However, a more severe and prolonged course is associated with immunosuppression or atopic dermatitis.

Therapeutic modalities are subdivided into 3 types: destructive, immunomodulatory, and antiviral. We review the advantages and disadvantages of various agents and discuss combination therapy.
