What is treatment for molluscum contagiosum?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Varies: They often go away without any treatment. If they are unsightly, you can scrape them off the skin, you can have them frozen off, treated with cantharone, or use a topical wart medicine being careful to just apply it to the molluscum and avoid the surrounding healthy skin.
