ACM Molutrex 5% Topical Solution is the effective formula for the treatment of Molluscum contagiosum. Molluscum contagiosum is a benign and highly contagious viral skin ailment, generally affecting the skin and sometimes the mucosa and which has been constantly increasing over the past 10 years, particularly in children with atopic skin. Occurring frequently in children between the ages of 2 and 10 years, Molluscum Contagiosum is contagious by direct contact, or by sharing soiled objects (towels, bath sponges, in particular in swimming pools, etc.). In adults, Molluscum contagiosum can be sexually transmitted (by skin to skin contact). 5% potassium hydroxide solution when applied on to infected skin, it breaks down the skin cells infected by the virus. When applied onto the molluscum bumps it stimulates the body’s own immune system to detect the virus and thus treat the bumps in few weeks.

- Tips to avoid spread: Temporarily prevent contaminated children from bathing with others, from pool activities, or from practising contact sports. Avoid sharing bath towels with infected patients.

Molluscum contagiosum can take from 2 to 3 months to develop, though the symptoms may appear in less than one week, or only after 6 months.
