In short
ParamedMolluscum contagiosum is a benign viral skin condition caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus, a poxvirus. It shows as small, shiny, dome-shaped bumps, many with a navel-like dimple in the centre. Unlike common warts, it is not caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is common in children and also occurs in adults. At Paramed, molluscum is removed with CO2 laser after a doctor's examination and dermatoscopy.
How it goes
Paramed1. The dermatologist examines the lesions and performs dermatoscopy to tell molluscum from other growths. 2. Local anaesthesia. 3. Each bump is removed with CO2 laser. 4. A small crust forms and falls off in 7–14 days.
How we remove it
ParamedThe CO2 laser (10,600 nm) vaporises each bump layer by layer while coagulating the vessels, so removal is precise and almost bloodless. If there are many lesions, treatment may be split into several sessions — the doctor will tell you at the examination.
