Molluscum contagiosum (often abbreviated MC) is a viral skin infection that produces skin-coloured, white, pink, pearly dot-like bumps on the skin. Often, these bumps have a dimple in the middle and are surrounded by a red halo. Molluscum contagiosum is caused by the Molluscum contagiosum virus, which is an extremely contagious skin infection transmitted by direct contact with another person's skin or from sharing personal items including towels, clothes, etc. This infection mainly affects children but can occur in people of any age. The infection in humans is generally self-limiting and may clear up on its own. While most cases of Molluscum contagiosum can be left alone, there is treatment available for those who wish to remove the bumps.
