Molluscum Contagiosa
Introduction
Homeopathic remedies for Molluscum Contagiosa are selected based on a detailed study and analysis of symptoms for each case.
Molluscum contagiosum, also known as water warts, is a virus-induced skin infection that results in small, raised pink bumps with a central dimple that can be sore or itchy. Although these lesions can develop anywhere on the body, they are most commonly found on the arms, legs, abdomen, neck, genital area, and face. The molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) spreads through direct contact or contaminated objects, and individuals with immunodeficiency or atopic dermatitis have an increased risk of infection. Diagnosis is typically made based on the appearance of the bumps, and they generally resolve within one year without leaving scars.
Below is a list of remedies that can help Molluscum Contagiosum.
The most prominently indicated Homeopathic medicines for treating molluscum contagiosum are Merc Sol, Natrum Mur, Silicea, Sulphur, Kali Iodatum and Thuja Occidentalis.
