What Are Over-the-Counter Treatments for Molluscum Contagiosum?
Molluscum Contagiosum is sometimes mistaken as a wart. Although both are caused from viral infections, Molluscum Contagiosum is caused by a pox virus, while warts are caused by the human papilloma virus. The wart-like lesions that are caused from Molluscum Contagiosum usually go away on their own. Depending on the area of the outbreak, over the counter treatment may be sought for cosmetic or discomfort reasons. Treatment is usually sought to avoid contamination.
