Molluscum Contagiosum is a skin disease that is contagious. This condition is usually spread by sharing towels, clothing or skin to skin contact. An indication that the disease is present is the discovery of pink or flesh color bumps on the skin. Most people only get 10 to 20 bumps unless the immune system is low. If the Immune system is not working; a person can get over 100 bumps. These nodules usually appear on the face, hands, armpits, arms, and hands, however; they can appear in other parts of the body. This condition clears typically on its own, but treatment is available.
