molluscum

Molluscum contagiosum, caused by human pox virus, are uniform small white bumps in the lower abdomen or upper pubic area. They spread easily, transmitted through intimate physical contacts in adults. Treated in the office through pinpoint physical destruction of individual lesions, molluscum are fairly easy to clear. Once gone they tend to not recur unless re-infected. Children sometimes get them from other children through picking/scratching; they usually disappear spontaneously within months.
