    Abstract

    Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a human viral infection contracted by skin-to-skin inoculation, autoinoculation, and fomite inoculation. There are a variety of treatments for MC, including watchful waiting, curettage, cantharidin, cryotherapy, and topical imiquimod. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections also have been treated with imiquimod. This article discusses the treatment of MC and HSV infections and reviews the literature.
