Abstract:
:
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) virus is a common cutaneous infection in
the pediatric population, most commonly affecting school-aged
children. Spontaneous clearing of lesions usually occurs over time;
however, treatment is often sought due to cosmetic significance,
pruritus, or concerns of transmission and autoinoculation. Chemical
destruction with cantharidin, which is derived from blister beetle
extract, is very safe and highly effective, making it the treatment of
choice in the pediatric population. However, treatment of facial
lesions or those in the diaper area are not recommended with this
agent. Trichloroacetic acid is a safe and effective agent frequently
utilized in dermatologic practice, most commonly in the treatment of
verrucae. We have successfully used topical trichloroacetic acid to
treat facial molluscum contagiousum and present the following
technique for proper application.
