  2. Molluscum contagiosum and warts are two types of skin conditions caused by different viruses. Though they share some similarities, there are notable differences between them.

  3. MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM Cause Appearance Location Transmission Symptoms Duration

  4. Cause: Molluscum contagiosum is caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). Appearance: The lesions are small, raised, round, and flesh-colored bumps. They may have a dimple in the center and can appear shiny or waxy.

  5. Location: Lesions often appear on the face, neck, armpits, and hands but can also be found on other parts of the body. Transmission: Molluscum contagiosum is spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, as well as through sharing personal items such as towels or clothing.

  6. Symptoms: Typically, there is no pain or itching associated with molluscum contagiosum. Duration: Lesions usually clear up on their own within 6 to 12 months, but they can persist longer in some cases.

  7. WATER WARTS Cause Appearance Location Transmission Symptoms Duration

  8. Cause: Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Appearance: Warts are typically rough, hard, and can vary in size and shape. Common types include plantar warts (on the soles of the feet) and common warts (on the fingers or hands).

  9. Location: Warts can appear on different parts of the body, such as the hands, feet, face, and genitals. Transmission: Warts spread through direct contact with the virus, often from touching contaminated surfaces.

  10. Symptoms: Warts may cause discomfort or pain depending on their location, particularly plantar warts on the feet. Duration: Warts can persist for months to years and may require treatment to remove them.

  11. If you suspect you have molluscum or warts, consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Always follow the recommended guidelines for treatment, including the use of products like Skin Bump Gone, to achieve the best results.
