Molluscum contagiosum is a relatively common viral infection of the skin. The virus is known as the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) and is part of the pox family of viruses. Sometimes referred to as water warts, the infection causes small firm bumps (mollusca) to appear on the skin.
The condition was discovered in the beginning of the 19th Century and occurs worldwide but is more prevalent in warm humid climates and in areas where people live closely together.
MolluDab® is a clinically proven topical solution to effectively treat molluscum contagiosum. MolluDab® contains 5% potassium hydroxide which is well tolerated (when used as directed) to help kill the molluscum contagiosum virus.
How does MolluDab® work?
MolluDab® breaks down the skin cells which are affected by the virus and thereby produces a defence reaction of the skin in the region affected by molluscum contagiosum.
