Abstract

The article focuses on the treatment for molluscum contagiosum. It is claimed that there is lack of evidence to determine the effectiveness of treatments for molluscum. A definition of molluscum contagiosum is offered. Adverse effects were found in various treatments such as sodium nitrite plus salicylic acid and potassium hydroxide based on five randomized controlled trials on the effectiveness of different topical treatments for raised molluscum lesions.
