What is Molluscum Contagiosum?
Molluscum contagiosum is a contagious viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus. It leads to small, firm, painless bumps or lesions on the skin. These bumps can appear anywhere on the body and are commonly spread through direct contact or contaminated objects. Treatment often involves removing the lesions or allowing them to resolve naturally.
