Molluscum contagiosum is a very common viral skin infection that causes round, firm, painless lumps the size of a pinhead to a pencil eraser. The infection may spread to adjacent skin if the pimples are scraped or damaged. It may be transmitted by direct contact with sick people or contaminated items.
Moreover, molluscum contagiosum is a genital infection spread via sexual contact. The lumps typically go away on their own after a year, although doctor-assisted removal is also a possibility. Molluscums are prevalent in youngsters, particularly individuals with weakened immune systems. It’s considered a sexually transmitted infection in people with otherwise healthy immune systems.
