Thanks for posting the qwery.
Molliscum contagiosum is a viral skin disease which is contagious and can spread to other areas.
Isolated lesions can be expressed or removed by minor procedure. Topical treatment includes imiquimod cream or tretinoin cream application on those lesions will cure the problem.
Proper evaluation of the lesions and appropriate treatment modality should be suggested considering also the age of the patient.
Hope for speedy recovery.
Regards
Dr Sandeep
