Have you noticed small, firm, dome-shaped bumps on the skin, often with a tiny dimple in the centre, that seem to be spreading or appearing on you or your child? These are typical of molluscum contagiosum, a common viral skin infection. It is caused by a poxvirus and spreads through skin-to-skin contact or shared items, and while it is usually harmless and can clear on its own over time, treatment can speed up clearance, ease symptoms, and reduce the chance of spreading it to others or to new areas. It is common in children but also affects adults, where it can sometimes appear in the genital area and spread through close contact. At Reborn Clinics in Porvorim, Goa, molluscum contagiosum is diagnosed and treated by qualified dermatologists. This page explains the condition, the treatment options, and how to book.

Treatment may suit anyone with molluscum contagiosum who wants to clear it faster or limit spread. You may benefit from treatment if you:
Because the infection often clears on its own, a dermatologist may sometimes advise gentle monitoring rather than active treatment, especially in young children. Treatment is adapted during pregnancy and for delicate sites. The dermatologist will examine you and guide you honestly on whether treatment or monitoring is right.
Molluscum contagiosum treatment is a quick, doctor-led procedure.
Consultation: It begins with a dermatologist examination to confirm the diagnosis and plan the method based on the number, size, and site of the bumps. A numbing cream may be applied for comfort, especially for children.
Treatment: The chosen method is then carried out, such as freezing, gentle removal of the core, or applying a doctor-administered agent. Each bump usually takes only a short time, and several can often be treated in one visit. Delicate sites are treated carefully.
Recovery and aftercare: There is little downtime. Small scabs or spots heal over the following days to weeks. Keep the area clean, avoid scratching or shaving over the bumps, do not share towels or personal items to limit spread, and follow the aftercare the doctor shares. Attend any follow-up, as new bumps may need further treatment.

The dermatologist will explain what is realistic for your case.
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral infection, and knowing how it behaves helps guide care. Common causes and concerns include:
A dermatologist will confirm the diagnosis and plan treatment based on the number, size, and location of the bumps.
Molluscum contagiosum often clears on its own over months, but treatment can speed this up and limit spread. A dermatologist chooses the method to suit the number, size, and site of the bumps:
Treatment is tailored, and delicate sites like near the eye or the genital area are treated with extra care. The doctor will explain the most suitable, gentle option for you or your child.
Molluscum contagiosum treatment is generally well tolerated, but each method has possible effects. Depending on the treatment, these may include:
It is honest to note that home remedies such as apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, or over-the-counter acids are not reliable and can irritate the skin or help the infection spread, so doctor-led treatment is safer. Your dermatologist will explain the specific risks before treatment.
The number of visits depends on how many bumps there are. A few bumps may clear after one treatment, while numerous or spreading bumps often need more than one visit over a few weeks, as new bumps can appear until the infection settles. Treated bumps usually heal over one to two weeks. Because molluscum is a virus, the aim is to clear existing bumps and limit spread, and full clearance can take a little time. Good hygiene and not scratching help prevent spread. Your dermatologist will set out a realistic plan for your case.
