“…Newer studies have proposed novel treatment options. Notably, a 2020 case study and literature review [ 2 ] described the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (2 sessions, 2 weeks apart using 630-nm red light lasting 9 minutes) in association with incubation with 5’-Aminolevulinic acid in completely resolving giant MC (larger than 1 cm in diameter). An alternate review by Wells et al [ 3 ] discussed intralesional immunotherapies in the treatment of MC and highlighted case reports exhibiting resolution rates between 36% and 100% with minimal adverse reactions (erythema, mild edema) with Candida antigen, MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine, vitamin D3, and OK- 432 (a penicillin- and heat-treated lyophilized powder of the Streptococcus pyogenes A3 substrain).…”

Viruses can cause disease in the skin or mucosa by direct infection or, via a systemic infection, produce secondary skin abnormalities. The chapter reviews the viruses associated with skin lesions, outlining the pathophysiology, the clinical features, diagnostic methods and the approaches to treatment. Primary skin infection following direct contact occurs with poxviruses, some herpesviruses and papillomaviruses leading to visible features which may be readily diagnostic. Less specific skin changes are seen with systemic infections, when infection is often via mucosae or inoculation, for example with parvovirus, measles or coronavirus and for these infections, diagnosis will usually involve body fluid analysis.
