What is MCV (Molluscum Contagiosum Virus)?
It is a chronic viral skin infection that causes raised, pearl-like papules. Typically, the lesions begin as a small painless papule, usually 2 to 5mm in diameter, which may raise up to form a flesh-colored nodule. Scratching or other irritation causes the virus to spread in a line or in groups (crops). Molluscum contagiousum is a contagious viral infection. It is a common infection in children as it is contagious through direct contact, and is generally seen on the face, neck, arm pit, arms, and/or hands. It may occur anywhere on the body, including in the genital area. In adults, Molluscum contagiosum warts are usually seen on the genitals as MCV is also sexually transmitted.

When transmitted sexually in adults, the growths appear on the genitalia and sometimes the thighs. Molluscum is easily spread. An adult or child can spread the condition on his or her
