Why molluscum contagiosum is increasing in children

Molluscum contagiosum is increasing in children because it is contagious and can also self-inoculate. Molluscum contagiosum is most common in children, the lesions are mainly hemispherical papules, varying in size, such as grains of rice, or like soybeans. The warts have an umbilical concavity in the center, a waxy surface, and a white cheese-like substance that can be squeezed out when the tip is broken, mostly on the trunk. The disease is mainly caused by the skin being infected by the molluscum contagiosum virus. Because the disease is contagious, warts are scratched after the virus can be self-inoculated, molluscum contagiosum will be more and more. It is important to keep the area clean to prevent it from scratching and self-inoculating. Children should develop good hygiene habits, visit public bathhouses and swimming pools less often, and not share towels with others. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
