Response from Dr. Feinberg
 There are a number of treatment for molluscum which typically involve destroying the lesions, for example, with liquid nitrogen which freezes them off. They have a tendency to recur. It is not that contagious and is usually spread by close contact. Probably the most reasonable thing you could do would be to avoid sharing personal care items such as towels, washcloths, etc with others. |
