What is the treatment of contagion molluscus?

Molluscum: Molluscum contagiosum is a viral infection, and is considered a type or wart. They appear as flesh colored bumps with a central white 'core', which will sometimes push out. They will generally resolve on their own in a few months. Avoid scratching them, as this can make them spread. Some dermatologists will prescribe medicated creams for faster resolution.
