Molluscum contagiosum is a contagious viral infection of the skin caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus, a member of the poxvirus family. It commonly appears as small, smooth, flesh-coloured or pearly papules with a characteristic central depression known as umbilication.

The lesions can develop on different areas of the body and may occur individually or in clusters. They are usually painless, although itching, irritation or inflammation can develop, particularly when lesions are scratched or repeatedly rubbed.

Molluscum contagiosum can resolve on its own in many healthy individuals. However, treatment may be considered when lesions persist, spread to other areas, become repeatedly irritated or cause cosmetic concern.

Molluscum Contagiosum Treatment involves managing or removing visible lesions using an appropriate dermatological technique. The treatment approach depends on the number, size and location of lesions, the patient's age, skin type and overall clinical presentation.

At Dermapuritys, the lesions are examined before treatment to confirm whether they are clinically consistent with molluscum contagiosum and to determine the most appropriate treatment option.

Treatment begins with a clinical examination of the lesions. The doctor evaluates their size, number, distribution, morphology and surrounding skin before selecting the appropriate treatment approach.
wavelength
RF Cautery : For suitable molluscum lesions, RF cautery may be used to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy to the targeted tissue. The generated thermal energy helps treat the individual lesion while allowing the clinician to work precisely on the affected area. The RF settings and treatment approach are selected according to the lesion characteristics and anatomical location. This technique may be considered when individual lesions require active treatment.
wavelength
Procedure : Depending on the number and location of lesions, a topical or local anaesthetic may be used when clinically appropriate to improve comfort. The selected lesions are then treated using the chosen technique. Temporary redness, tenderness, mild swelling or superficial crusting may occur following treatment. These changes generally settle as the treated skin heals.
wavelength
Clinical Consideration : Not every skin-coloured or dome-shaped papule is molluscum contagiosum. Lesions with an unusual appearance, significant inflammation, ulceration, bleeding or atypical pigmentation may require further clinical assessment before treatment. Treatment selection also considers the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation and scarring, particularly in individuals prone to pigmentary changes.

Molluscum Contagiosum Treatment Results: Before and After

Following treatment, the skin gradually settles as the treated lesions heal. Mild redness, swelling or superficial crusting may be seen initially and typically improves during the healing process.

As recovery progresses, treated lesions become less prominent and the skin gradually regains a smoother appearance. Results vary based on the number and size of lesions, their location, treatment technique and individual healing response. New lesions may occasionally appear while the body continues to clear the virus.
