Don't Get Confused: Understanding Molluscum Contagiosum!
Molluscum Contagiosum is a common, viral skin infection, and the name says it all—it is highly contagious, especially among children!
🛑 Key Fact: While the small, often dome-shaped bumps may resemble other conditions, it's crucial to get a professional diagnosis.
🚫 A Big NO: Please, DO NOT pop, squeeze, or scratch the lesions! This is the fastest way to spread the virus to other parts of the body and to others.
✅ The Right Step: If you suspect your child (or anyone in your family) has Molluscum Contagiosum, consult a dermatologist immediately for the right treatment and management plan. Early intervention can prevent widespread infection.
