Details: MolluDab 5% Hydroxide Topical Applicator Treatment MolluDab is an external treatment for Molluscum contagiosum, suitable for adults and children from 2 years of age. Traditionally, GPs have taken the approach to do nothing when treating Molluscum contagiosum, as the condition often disappears within 12-18 months of its own accord. New MolluDab helps to get rid of the bumps after just 1-5 weeks. It does not cause pain or scarring. MolluDab contains 5% potassium hydroxide and is applied directly to the bumps to break down the skin cells which encase the organism, allowing the immune system to recognise and respond to it, which happens in after around 4-6 days of treatment. After this, the skin begins healing and the lesions disappear. Molluscum Contagiosum Tips Molluscum contagiosum thrives under warm and damp conditions, so keep the skin clean and dry. Try and avoid sharing the affected person's towels, clothing, facecloths, bed linen and toys to avoid spreading the condition. Those affected should be dissuaded from scratching the bumps and certainly from squeezing them as this can promote spread to other areas of skin not yet affected. In children with the condition, thorough hand washing should be encouraged. Affected children do not need to stay away from school (or equally, adults, from work). For adults, shaving on the affected areas should be avoided. Also, if the ano-genital area is affected, refrain from sexual contact until you have seen a healthcare professional This product contains 2ml of solution and only fills 1/3 of the bottle.
