Understanding Molluscum and Warts
Molluscum and warts are viral skin infections that cause raised, sometimes rough or domeshaped bumps. Both conditions are spread by direct contact or through shared items such as towels, razors, or gym equipment.
While molluscum contagiosum is caused by a poxvirus and often appears as smooth, pearly papules, warts result from infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) and have a rougher texture. Each requires different treatment to prevent recurrence and reduce the risk of spreading to others.
Our dermatologists evaluate each case of molluscum and warts to confirm the diagnosis and create an individualized treatment plan suited to your skin type and age.
Molluscum Contagiosum: Recognizing and Treating a Common Viral Rash
Molluscum contagiosum is a frequent viral skin infection, especially in children and those with sensitive or compromised skin. It presents as small, dome-shaped bumps with a central dimple and may appear anywhere on the body.
This type of lesion can multiply or spread through scratching or shaving. While molluscum can clear on its own, treatment by a dermatologist helps prevent spread and minimizes scarring or post-inflammatory discoloration.
Our dermatologists provide safe, effective treatment options for molluscum and warts, including topical therapies, cryotherapy, or gentle lesion removal when needed.
Common Wart Types: Identifying the Differences
Warts come in several forms, each caused by a strain of HPV. Understanding the type of wart helps guide effective treatment.
Because warts are contagious and can spread through skin contact, timely treatment helps stop further transmission. Hilton Dermatology + Aesthetics offers a range of medical and procedural options for molluscum and warts to ensure comfort and long-lasting results.
