Scratched and inflamed
Scratched and inflamed, this boy suffered too long. The initial site of the molluscum contagiosum infection was the cluster on the right top of the image. The infection eventually covered both thighs, the groin, and genitals until the spread was arrested by our Treatment. Autoinfection (infecting yourself) is a real problem with molluscum if it is left untreated, especially in children.
Note: this is not a professional photograph. The picture was taken by a molluscum sufferer or their parents. Used with permission.
