How Do I Know Which Mollenol Product to Order if I am Using it for Molluscum?
28th Nov 2025
If you intend to use Mollenol for molluscum you need to consider what stage the molluscum is in. Which Mollenol to use and how to use it will vary with the stage of molluscum you are dealing with.
Molluscum can be present in some or all stages.
Mollenol Sensitive is the most commonly ordered. If there are raised or pus-filled bumps, Mollenol Patches are very useful and sometimes necessary.

Mollenol Sensitive is an ointment and is for children 2-7 years and the face and private parts of adults.
Mollenol full strength ointment is for older children and adults but not their faces and private parts.
Essential Serum Spot Treatment is an ointment and is for younger children especially those under 2 years and for hyper-sensitive areas for all ages. Essential Serum is also good for ongoing maintenance of bumps as it has an easy to use roller-ball applicator.
Mollenol Patches are hydrocolloid patches and are for larger pus filled bumps. Mollenol Patches can be used anywhere on the body including the face though they do not stick well to hairy areas or to creased areas like elbows or behind the knees.
Mollenol Patches are a subsidiary treatment to Mollenol ointments. Mollenol ointments should be your first choice. Good waterproof bandaids can be used instead of Mollenol Patches on large pus filled bumps. Cheap third party pimple patches can cause adverse reactions when used on molluscum and with Mollenol lotions.
Mollenol Patches and Mollenol ointments can be used together. Most people use Mollenol in that way.
