Molluscum Contagiosum

Molluscum Contagiosum Homeopathy Treatment

Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection that affects both children and adults. The infection is caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV), a DNA virus that belongs to the poxvirus group. The virus is highly contagious and can easily spread through direct contact with an infected person or through contact with infected objects such as toys, doorknobs, swimming pools, and other shared surfaces.

Symptoms of Molluscum Contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum is characterized by the appearance of small, pearly papules or nodules on the surface of the skin. These papules are usually painless but can itch and can occur either singly or in clusters. Papules can range in size from 1 to 5 millimeters in diameter and can be flesh-colored, pink, or white. The infection usually affects areas of the body that come into contact with other people or surfaces, such as the face, hands, armpits and neck. In adults, molluscum contagiosum can also affect the genitals and can be transmitted through sexual intercourse.

Molluscum Contagiosum Homeopathy Treatment

While there is no known cure for molluscum contagiosum, there are several treatment options available that can help manage symptoms and prevent the infection from spreading. Conventional treatment options include surgical removal of the papule by scraping, enucleation, cauterization, freezing, curettage, cryotherapy, or needle electrosurgery. However, these procedures can be painful and often lead to scarring and recurrence of the molluscum.

Alternative treatment options such as homeopathy can also be used to treat molluscum contagiosum. According to Dr. Abhishek, homeopathy helps to boost a person's immunity and thus helps the body's natural healing process to cure the disease from its root. Homeopathic medicines are safe and painless even for children and pregnant women and are not suppressive in nature.

There are over 27 homeopathic remedies that can be used to treat molluscum contagiosum, including Antimonium crudum, Thuja Occidentalis, Nitric Acid, and Calcarea Carbonica. These remedies are chosen on the basis of the patient's individual symptoms and his general health and constitution.

Antimonium crudum is a remedy often used for skin conditions such as molluscum contagiosum. It is indicated when there are small pearly papules on the skin that itch and are sensitive to touch. The papules may be surrounded by redness and may have a yellowish or brownish crust. The person may also have digestive problems such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Thuja Occidentalis is another homeopathic remedy commonly used for skin conditions such as molluscum contagiosum. It is indicated when there are multiple small papules on the skin that are painless and have the appearance of a wart. Papules may be flesh-colored or slightly yellow and may have a central indentation or a small black dot. A person may also have a history of vaccinations, which may make them more susceptible to the virus.

Nitric acid is a drug often used for skin conditions that are characterized by sharp, stabbing pains. It is indicated when there are small, pearly papules.
