Virus of a contagious molluscum - disease of the virus nature. The originator - the Virus of the Contagious Molluscum (Mollusci-poxvirus) - carry to viruses of variolous group.

Be ill it can both children, and adults. The difference consists only that if children catch at direct contacts: contact of arms, dirty toys, with a lesion of any part of a body (the face, arms, a back, palms), - that adults - sexual by.

Displays: in a week after sexual contact in the field of genitals appear fine (about a pin head) nodules. They have the ball-shaped form. On color coincide with normal painting a skin. In the middle of a hemisphere there is a fossa, something reminding a human belly-button.

If to squeeze this formation by fingernails, from it the mass in which probably to meet specific spherical objects in the form of molluscums will be allocated white in the form of a porridge. Becomes clear why illness has received such name.

These bodies, having got from the bursted nodule on a healthy skin, in 45-60 days cause new "rashes" of a molluscum. Eventually two variants of disease are possible.

In the first case - in 2-3 months nodules pass independently. In the second - will exist on a skin longly. In rare cases of a hemisphere merge and form a huge contagious molluscum in size about a pigeon egg and even more.
