Molluscum Contagiosum Virus
Single Testing Vial - 10 x 50mm

A common, yet rarely discussed skin infection. Caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus, it produces clusters of lesions or bumps to appear on the skin. While typically painless, the lesions can be unsightly and embarrassing for those affected.

The most common areas affected by molluscum contagiosum in children are the neck, arms, chest, belly, legs, buttox and genital region. Palms and soles are rarely affected. In adults, the lesions are generally located in the genital region but may infect other parts of the body. 

While molluscum contagiosum will resolve on its own, it can take 16 months or even years for the lumps to go away completely. Medications and surgical treatments are available.

Note this vial is 1 cm longer than our usual vials and does not fit our usual boxes.

But it will fit our more recent 30 vial and 75 vial flat tray foam inlay boxes
