So, what is the best treatment for molluscum?

Clinical manifestations

It is common in children and young people, with an incubation period of 14 days to 6 months. The skin lesions initially appear as white, hemispherical papules, which gradually increase in size to 5 to 10 mm, with a slightly concave center like an umbilicus and a waxy luster. After the top is pricked, a white, cheese-like substance can be squeezed out, which is called molluscum body. The number of lesions is variable, and they may be scattered or clustered, and generally do not fuse with each other. They can occur anywhere on the body but are most common on the neck, trunk, lower abdomen, and genitalia. In most cases, the skin lesions will disappear on their own after 6 to 9 months, generally leaving no scars.
