How can I avoid becoming infected with molluscum?
The best way to avoid getting molluscum is by following good hygiene habits. • Do not touch, pick, or scratch any skin with bumps or blisters (yours or someone else’s). • Good hand hygiene is the best way to avoid getting many infections including molluscum. For handwashing tips, see the Clean Hands Saves Lives sitelet at http://www.cdc.gov/cleanhands. By washing your hands frequently you wash away germs picked up from other people or from contaminated surfaces.
