Molluscum Contagiosum and Its Homoeopathic Treatment
Introduction
Do you notice small, dome-shaped, pearl-like bumps on your or your child’s skin that are sometimes itchy or red? This may be Molluscum Contagiosum, a common viral skin infection.
It is caused by the poxvirus and spreads through direct skin contact or sharing contaminated items like towels, clothes, or toys. Although not dangerous, it can be distressing, contagious, and may spread quickly, especially among children.
At Homoeo Clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sharma offers safe and gentle homoeopathic treatment that strengthens immunity, helps resolve skin eruptions, and prevents recurrence naturally without harsh chemicals.
Causes & Triggers of Molluscum Contagiosum
Medical Causes
Viral infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV)
Weak or immature immune system (common in children)
Spread through sexual contact in adults
Atopic dermatitis or skin barrier issues
Lifestyle & Environmental Triggers
Direct skin-to-skin contact (children playing together)
Sharing contaminated towels, clothing, or personal items
Swimming pools, gyms, or public showers
Scratching or shaving over bumps (spreads the virus)

Homoeopathic Approach to Molluscum Contagiosum
Conventional treatment may involve freezing, burning, or scraping the bumps, which can be painful and leave scars. Homoeopathy provides a gentle, non-invasive approach by:
Stimulating the immune system to fight off the virus.
Helping resolve bumps naturally without scarring.
Preventing spread and recurrence.
Addressing associated conditions like eczema or low immunity.
Providing safe remedies for children and adults alike.
At Homoeo Clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sharma tailors treatment according to the patient’s age, immunity, and skin symptomsfor lasting recovery.
