Molluscum: Molluscum contagiosum is secondary to a virus. I usually recommend Aldara 5% cream for 8 hours overnight covered or 5 times per week and it works great! The medication will cause some redness and irritation but it helps your immune system fight the virus. It might take 1-2 months to fully clear.
