If you’re shopping for molluscum contagiosum options, you’re likely looking for a practical way to manage bumps while the infection runs its course. Molluscum contagiosum is a common, contagious viral skin infection that can spread through close skin contact or by sharing items such as towels. Many cases clear on their own over time, but some people choose a targeted topical option to help manage spots—especially if they’re spreading, catching on clothing, or affecting confidence.
This category focuses on a spot-application product and clear, safety-first guidance to help you choose with confidence. Our UK regulated pharmacy team can help with suitability questions. Always read the label and patient information leaflet. If you’re buying for a child, have eczema or sensitive skin, or bumps are on the face, near the eyes, or on the genital area, speak to a pharmacist or GP for personalised advice.
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that causes small, raised bumps which may be skin-coloured, white or pink and often have a central dimple. It’s more common in children but can affect adults too.
Not always. Many cases improve without treatment over time. Some people choose a topical option to help manage spots, especially if they’re spreading, catching on clothing, or causing distress.
It varies. Molluscum can take months to settle and sometimes longer. If bumps persist, spread quickly, or you’re concerned, speak to a pharmacist or GP.
Avoid scratching, keep bumps covered if practical, don’t share towels, clothing, or bedding, and wash hands regularly. Keeping nails short (especially for children) helps reduce picking and spread.
These areas are more sensitive. Check the patient information leaflet carefully and seek advice from a pharmacist or GP if you’re unsure, especially for children.
Yes, molluscum can spread while bumps are visible. Avoid direct skin contact and sharing towels, clothing, or bedding until bumps have fully resolved.
Use only as directed and apply precisely to the bumps. Stop and seek advice if you experience significant stinging, pain, blistering, or irritation of surrounding skin.
Get advice if you’re unsure it’s molluscum, bumps become very red, hot, swollen, painful, or weepy, there are signs of infection, bumps are near the eyes, or you have a weakened immune system.
