What is Molluscum Contagiosum?

The disease causes red bumps or lesions to appear in clusters on the skin; on severe cases, hundreds of lumps can appear. Some of the lesions may appear to be filled with a whitish pus or will have a dimpled top. For those who are in relatively good health, molluscum contagiosum can heal on its own, but can take up to one year to resolve. For those with compromised immune systems, molluscum contagiosum can worsen and last even longer.

If the lumps are present, it means the virus is still present and the affected individual can spread the virus to others. In order to speed up the healing process, molluscum treatment is recommended.  Topical creams like Conzerol® can help to clear up the lump fast and painlessly.* While the cream is working, the bumps can begin to shrink and darken, demonstrating that they are drying out and healing.*

Until the virus is eliminated, it’s important to take precautions to not spread the disease. By using Conzerol® and covering affected areas with bandages, you can help to prevent the virus from spreading to loved ones and, at the same time, heal the disorder quickly.*
