Molluscum contagiosum - treatment

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

This shows molluscum lesions on the labia and inner thighs of the same woman shown in picture 63. The common treatment options include the following: 1) freezing the lesions with liquid nitrogen for 15 seconds. 2) performing curettage of the lesions. 3) having the patient apply Condylox to the lesions twice daily for two days out of each week until the lesions resolve. 4) applying Cantherone Plus (blistering agent) to the lesions on dry areas, and then washing it off within 2 to 4 hours.
