Abstract

Molluscum Contagiosum (MC) is a very common viral infection of skin caused by a double stranded DNA Pox virus affecting both children’s and adults. MC is primarily affects children’s of 15 years, occasionally it affects adults and immunocompromised individuals. Transmission of virus occurs by direct contact with infected person or contaminated objects. Most common sites are skin of face, trunk and extremities in children, genitals in adults and rarely palms, soles and mucous membranes. Here we are reporting a case of Molluscum Contagiosum in a 3 years old male patient over a skin of face.
