Molluscum contagiosum is a common skin disease that is caused by poxvirus called Molluscum Contagiosum virus (MCV. Molluscum contagiosum virus can spread from person-to-person either with skin-to-skin contact or sharing items of infected person. Individuals with already existing molluscum contagiosum can spread to other areas of the body when the person scratches the bumps then touches on other parts of body immediately, this is called autoinoculation. When it comes to genital areas it is very important to get it treated because the chances of spreading MC to other individual are very high for sexually active individuals. As they are so contagious, early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent the spread of the infection. There are several treatment options for Molluscum contagiosum on penis; these may range from topical applications to surgical destruction and extraction. You should consult a nearby doctor and get it removed without much delay.
