Hi. Molluscum contagiosum and acne lesion (closed comedone) look similar. As far as treatment is concerned, molluscum contagiosum needs to be extirpated. Acne lesions need comedolytic drugs like benzoyl peroxide and adapelene. You need to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. Hope it helps
