An Immunocompromised Woman With Severe Molluscum Contagiosum That Responded Well to Topical Imiquimod

Abstract: Molluscum contagiosum is a common condition that often occurs in children, sexually active young adults, and immunocompromised patients.

Her vulvar lesions responded to topical 5% imiquimod cream.
