Molluscum contagiosum 1
Molluscum contagiosum is a benign papular condition of the skin. In adults, it is often sexually transmitted, but it may be spread by non-sexual routes as well. The lesions of molluscum contagiosum are generally smooth, firm and dome-shaped with a highly characteristic central umbilication.
