I am treating molluscum for the last 3 weeks with tretinion.the skin is very red and peeling. how will i know when molluscum is gone.thanks?

See your doctor.: If you are not sure if the molluscum is gone, you should have a follow-up visit with your doctor. It is normal with that treatment to have some degree of redness and peeling,but that also should be seen by your doctor.
