Molluscum Contagiosum treatment in homeopathy
Molluscum contagiosum is a mild skin disease caused by a virus (molluscum contagiosum virus, a member of the Poxviridae family) that causes painless small bumps (flesh-colored, dome-shaped papules; some may be umbilicated, meaning the lesion has a central depression with a spot in the middle that resembles a navel) on the skin. The disease occurs worldwide but is more prevalent in warm, humid climates. It is a common infection in children; direct person-to-person contact, sexual contact, and contaminated items like clothing, towels, or other objects may transmit the infection.
The virus can infect all other parts of the body by autoinoculation (self-transfer of the virus to another area of the skin).
Causes of molluscum contagiosum
The cause is a virus, molluscum contagiosum virus, a member of the poxvirus family. The virus only survives in the skin, and when the lesions are gone, the person no longer is contagious.
molluscum contagiosum signs and symptoms
- The first signs and symptoms of molluscum contagiosum are small painless papules (raised bumps or lumps) on the skin (molluscum lesions).
- It often appears as a raised, pearly pinkish nodule or redness on the skin; some nodules contain a dimple in the center.
- Most molluscum lesions are small, about 2-5 mm in diameter. Inside the nodule, sometimes there is a cheesy whitish core. The lesions may become itchy, sore, and reddened if scratched.
- The lesions can appear anywhere on the body (face, mouth, genital area, penis, or vagina, for example).
Diagnosis
Any well qualified doctor can diagnose molluscum contagiosum just by looking at it.
