How can I prevent the spread if the moluscum virus in my 3yr ok d. He was diagnosed mid April with inky 3-4 warts & now has approx 15 and have appeared on his genital region. We have been showering him to reduce spread, but he has now started scratching them which is probably not helping. Some creams emu aid claim to cure or your money back but I m sceptical. What can u suggest?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Molluscum contagious spreads by scratching and touching the lesions by autoinoculation. The best method of treatment is cautery of the lesions which will burn off the virus with minimal scarring. I suggest you get in touch with a skin doctor and get the procedure done. Thanks.
