Article Excerpts about Molluscum contagiosum
This common viral infection most often affects young
children, who pass it to each other through saliva. In adults,
however, the virus is transmitted sexually, resulting in lesions
on the genitals, lower abdomen, buttocks, or inner thighs. Most
people with the infection do not have noticeable symptoms,
although sometimes the lesions, which are painless wart-like
bumps, may itch or become irritated. The lesions often heal
without treatment, although physicians may sometimes scrape them
off or treat them with chemical irritants. (Source: excerpt from Other Important STDS, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)
