Hello Thank you for trusting Chat Doctor molluscan contagious a common, benign, usually self-limited viral disease of the skin marked by the formation of firm, rounded, translucent, elateriform pa pules containing gaseous matter and intracytoplasmic inclusions (molluscan bodies), which contain replicating virions. The disease is spread by contact and is common in young child Chat Doctor.  In adults, lesions in the pubic area indicate sexual transmission. This infection is faded out on its own, but you developed allergic reactions to salicylate cream so avoid it.
