Diagnosing molluscum contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum diagnosis

Molluscum Contagiosum can be usually diagnosed by a health professional from a physical examination. A tissue sample can confirm Molluscum Contagiosum infection. Molluscum Contagiosum may sometimes be confused for normal warts or herpes lesions. Patients with Molluscum Contagiosum warts in the genital area should also be tested for other sexually transmitted infections.
