“…The patients typically have 1 to 20 lesions that are generally 2 to 5 mm in size and their color can vary from pearly white or skin colored. Lesions are usually asymptomatic, occasionally itching; discomfort or secondary bacterial infection can be present 19‐21 . Dermoscopy reveals a central umbilication in conjunction with polylobular white to yellow amorphous structure surrounded by linear telangiectasias, branched (red corona), or dotted vessels 17,22 (Figure 2D).…”

“…Dermoscopy reveals a central umbilication in conjunction with polylobular white to yellow amorphous structure surrounded by linear telangiectasias, branched (red corona), or dotted vessels 17,22 (Figure 2D). Treatments include physical ablation (cold steel surgery, cryotherapy, electrosurgery, CO 2 laser), chemical methods (salicylic acid, hydrogen peroxide, potassium hydroxide, silver nitrate, imiquimod, cantharidin) and antiviral drugs (topical or intravenous cidofovir) 19,23 …”

“…Although active treatment of molluscum contagiosum may reduce the time to clinical clearance, this should be balanced against the discomfort and side‐effects of treatment, particularly so on sensitive genital skin. Patients should be advised that new lesions may continue to erupt for some time even after elimination of all visible lesions, thus requiring further intervention 4 . Associated eczema should be treated with emollients and, if necessary, a topical corticosteroid, particularly when itchy, to reduce the risk of molluscum auto‐inoculation by scratching ( GRADE 1, C ).…”
