Warts and molluscum contagiosum - Beware of treatments worse than the disease POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE ORDOUKHANIAN, E., Lane, A. T. 1997; 101 (2): 223-?

Abstract

To treat or not to treat, that is the question. Two cutaneous infections, warts and molluscum contagiosum, have evaded eradication for centuries, and the viruses continue to thrive and to expand in number despite all attempts at destruction. Meanwhile, many cases regress spontaneously. In this article, the authors review the characteristics of the viruses involved; discuss their transmission, epidemiology, and clinical manifestations; and assess the effectiveness of available therapies.
