Does podophyllin always work for molluscum contagiosum?

Molluscum: No it does not!please return to the physician who put Podophyllin and look for complete regressiom.

No: Ive not had much success with Podophyllin for mc. We usually have to use a skin curette to remove the lesions.

No: According to the literature the lesions from molloscum usually go away on their own but it may tak 12 months. Curetting or freezing usually leads to visible scarring. I've had really good luck using a non-fda approved treatment called cantharone. It is sometimes called "beetle juice" because it contains extract from the blister beetle. One or two applications usually does the trick.
