Large, Pus-filled Molluscum Results in Widespread Infection

Purulent Stage

Pus filled bumps (2-3mm) with central dimple 

These bumps need to be covered to limit the spread.

As the viral matter grows the pus increases and the molluscum grows larger. The dimple becomes more evident and pus may be visibly exuding.

Molluscum is now more likely to spread over the skin and to other people. 

These pus filled bumps grow and then burst or open fully exuding pus.

Not controlling pus filled molluscum is how molluscum spreads.

When there are a large number of pus filled molluscum bumps about to burst extensive infection results unless preventative action is taken.

Which Mollenol?
Purulent stage molluscum are full of pus and need to be covered with a Mollenol Patch. Application of Mollenol standard lotion, Essential Serum (for infants) or Mollenol Sensitive (for children) will help reduce symptoms associated with molluscum. Of course, Mollenol Patches will not stick well to hairy or creased skin, for example back of knees or neck, and these bumps will need 2-4 application of Mollenol or Mollenol Sensitive a day.  

Extensive molluscum infection

Molluscum can grow and become widespread

The pus has exuded onto the body creating new molluscum. 

The molluscum virus in the pus spreads the infection. Extensive spread is especially likely if pus-filled molluscum have been left for a long time, scratched or opened.

Which Mollenol?
Extensive molluscum infection has molluscum from all stages. The symptoms associated with extensive infections need Mollenol & Mollenol Sensitive and Mollenol Patches.
