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.
Can you spread molluscum contagiosum without sexual contact?

Does apple cider cure molluscum contagiosum?
It is never that simple. That said I applied it directly just to the spots and it killed them quickly. First, the mature molluscum contagious spots might swell slightly, but they will then get a small scab in the center and fade away. I tried the apple cider vinegar first. It would not get all the spots and it seemed to allow it to spread. The one spot I tried would be gone, but 4 more would show up where to cotton swab had touched. Also, it hurt and left but scabs that might scar. The most common treatments for molluscum contagiosum are astringent chemicals, surgery, and dye lasers.

Cryotherapy causes scarring in some cases. It seems that if scarring affected the hair follicles in that area, you'd have noticed before seventeen years passed. Another cause is more likely.
