    For once in dermatology, it’s not steroids :-) Updated section below:

    MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM

    Molluscum contagiosum results in flesh-colored, pearly papules that are dome-shaped and umbilicated. Caused by the POX virus. NO treatment is needed, but sometimes cryotherapy or topical Cantharidin, Podophyllotoxin, Imiquimod or Potassium hydroxide.
