What is muscollum?
Within each "colony" or patch, one or two lesions will develop into the large, discrete, red, angry stage three lesions, and it is these lesions that seem to control the others within the area. Sometimes we call these master lesions "mothers" or "queen bee" lesions. You must get rid of these particular lesions specifically in order to be free of the molluscum contagiosum outbreak. If one of these mature "mother" lesions are on the scalp and covered with hair, it can make things even more difficult. Many times molluscum contagiosum virus takes hold in skin already affected by psoriasis or eczema. These skin lesions can itch, causing the host (patient) to scratch them, thereby facilitating the molluscum's spread. Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a pox virus. Molluscum contagiosum is only a skin condition. It is not systemic, so pills cannot help. It spreads by physical contact. Parents are likely to notice that an initial outbreak on the inner thigh of a child soon spreads to the mirror image area of the other leg where one leg contacts the other while sleeping. Once you stop the infection it is unlikely to come back unless the patient comes into contact with it again.
