Molluscum contagiosum is a benign skin growth that indicates infection with the molluscum contagiosum virus. The infection is common in small children who contract it during play, but also in adults where it is a transmissible sexual infection. The most effective treatment is probably the scraping of molluscum with a curette, but this procedure is a little painful; it often requires local anesthesia with the help of a cream applied an hour before. Freezing molluscum with liquid nitrogen is also an often used method. Several treatment sessions spaced 3 to 6 weeks apart are often necessary.
