Molluscum Contagiosum are common, warts caused by a virus.\u00a0 The lesions are small skin-colored or pink bumps, which sometimes have a central white indentation.<\/p>\n
The characteristic lesions are sometimes called \u201cwater warts\u201d because they resemble fluid filled blisters.\u00a0 The bumps can appear on any area of the body including inside the mouth and in the groin area.\u00a0 Molluscum mainly affect children, but adults commonly get this virus.<\/p>\n
The virus is spread from person to person usually through close skin contact including intimate contact in adults.\u00a0 By touching or scratching lesions, people spread the virus on themselves and develop more molluscum.\u00a0\u00a0 The lesions usually do not cause any symptoms, but at times they may itch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
