Treatment

In people with normal immune systems, the disorder usually goes away on its own over a period of months to years.

Persons with a comprimised immune system (such as AIDS) may have a rapidly worse case of molluscum contagiosum.

Individual lesions may be removed surgically, by scraping, de-coring, freezing, or through needle electrosurgery. Surgical removal of individual lesions may result in scarring. Medications, such as those used to remove warts, may be helpful in removal of lesions, but can cause blistering that leads to temporary skin discoloration
