Molluscum contagiosum is a common and highly contagious skin condition caused by a virus. The condition mostly affects healthy children between the ages of one and 10 — although it can affect teens and adults too — and presents with flesh-colored bumps on the skin. The bumps can appear anywhere, and while they are usually harmless, they often spread to other parts of the body and are easily spread to others.
To avoid spreading molluscum contagiosum, follow these tips from board-certified dermatologists.
