Molluscum Contagiosum | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What are the signs and symptoms of the infection?

At first, the molluscum contagiosum skin lesions are firm, solid, and flesh colored. Eventually they become softened, whitish, or pearly gray. There is usually a dimple in the center of the lesion. They may drain a white, cheesy or waxy material. There is no pain associated with this condition. The lesions may appear on the face, trunk, arms, legs, genitals, and abdomen.
