A member asked:
I have this condition of scaly itchy about 3mm wide pimples that leave hole in the middle when the crust is removed.

Could be molluscum: Molluscum contagiosum is a virus that infects the skin. When the molluscum is removed from the skin, a small 1 mm or so hole is left in the skin. These will eventually disappear. Molluscum should be treated as it is contagious. It is transmitted by contact. Rubbing/scratching can spread molluscum further. Please see dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
