Molluscum Treatment in Pune

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that causes small, firm, raised bumps or lesions to appear on the skin. These bumps are usually flesh-colored, white, or pink and often have a dimple or central indentation. Molluscum contagiosum is typically harmless and not painful, but it can spread through direct contact or sharing personal items. It commonly affects children but can occur in adults, especially those with weakened immune systems.

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by a poxvirus (the molluscum contagiosum virus). It usually causes small, raised, flesh-colored bumps on the skin.

Several effective treatments can help manage and prevent the spread of molluscum contagiosum, including:
Physically removing the bumps through procedures like curettage (gentle scraping)
Cryotherapy, which involves freezing the lesions with liquid nitrogen
Topical treatments, such as prescription creams that target the virus or boost the immune response
Chemical agents applied by a healthcare provider to irritate the lesions and prompt healing

Since molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus, attempting to remove it at home is not recommended. Doing so can increase the risk of scarring, cause the infection to come back, and spread the virus to others in your household. Instead, it’s best to see a dermatologist who can accurately diagnose your condition and develop a tailored treatment plan. This plan may also focus on boosting your immune system to help clear the infection more quickly.
