Molluscum Contagiosum in Children
Molluscum Contagiosum in children is a viral skin infection that causes small, painless, round papules that are pink or white and have a central indentation. The infection is most common in children aged 1-10 years and is easily spread through contact with skin or contaminated objects such as toys and towels. Symptoms can appear anywhere on the body, especially on the hands, face and abdominal area. The choice of treatment for Molluscum Contagiosum is important to prevent the spread of the infection and avoid complications such as secondary bacterial infections. At Geoderma Clinic, we offer safe and effective treatments that include the use of topical treatments, cryotherapy or laser therapy.
