Hi this is regarding my 9 year old daughter. we took her to the doctors on friday as she has warts popping up on her body. they said it was "molluscum contagiosum" however more has popped up since friday. some on her private parts. is this normal?

May be: Do tend to pop up in crops although havent been able to see the rash/warts. A consultation either back with GP or if waikato area virtual afterhours may help here. Here is some general information from NZ dermatologists: https://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/molluscum-contagiosum/

Molluscum : Molluscum contagiosum is a common condition where small warty bumps (mollusca) appear on the skin. It is caused by a virus that can be passed on by skin contact or from contaminated towels, flannels, soft toys, etc. It is not serious and usually clears within 12-18 months without any treatment. https://patient.info/health/viral-skin-infections-leaflet/molluscum-contagiosum

Likely normal: What you described seems normal. Auto Inoculation is a usual part of the disease, You may visit this site for information on this topic: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/molluscum-contagiosum/index.html

Molluscum: These wart like growths are actually a cousin of true warts that have many differences. They are viral, and tend to appear in clusters. A kid scratching them can trigger spread to other skin surfaces including the genitals. They differ from warts in their tendency to mature and fall off in months rather than the years it takes for warts.
