What ointment is used to treat molluscum contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum can be treated by applying some ointments to achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection. It is important to use some ointments correctly to avoid other adverse effects. Of course, it can also be treated by taking some Chinese medicine orally or washing it externally.

1. One method is to scrape off the small bodies of molluscum with a scraper or tweezers, and then apply topical medication. However, this method is painful for children. During treatment, care must be taken to remove all of it at once to avoid self-infection. Another method is to apply corrosive drugs to cause the protein to coagulate, necrotic and fall off. This is relatively less painful than scraping with tweezers, but there is still a local burning and painful sensation.

2. There are two other methods you can try: one is to use Chinese medicine decoction and then take it orally and wash it externally, but this treatment course is relatively long and it is not easy for children to cooperate; the other is to use Chinese patent medicine for local application, which is also more effective and less painful, but the price is relatively expensive and is generally used when there are more molluscums.

3. No matter which method is used, it will cause skin damage. Therefore, be careful not to take a bath after the treatment to avoid the spread of infection. Once a child unfortunately becomes infected with the disease, the child's bedding, sheets and other items that frequently come into contact with the skin should be scalded and washed, and close contact with other children should be avoided as much as possible to prevent infection.
