BackgroundMolluscum contagiosum is one of the commonest cutaneous viral infections in children. All treatment modalities are associated with substantial pain, tissue destruction, and frequent recurrence. ObjectivesTo compare the efficacy and side effects of KOH 5% solution with tretinoin 0.05% cream for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in children. MethodsFifty patients were randomly divided into 2 groups; 25 each for 5% KOH solution and 0.05% tretinoin cream. The given medication was applied at bed time over molluscum lesions. The assessment of response and side effects were performed weekly for 4 weeks. ResultsAt the end of 4 weeks, the mean lesion count decreased from 9.48±3.00 SD to 1.67±0.58 SD and from 8.35±2.82 SD to 2.00±1.00 SD in patients treated with 5% KOH solution and 0.05% tretinoin cream respectively. ConclusionThe result of both KOH and tretinoin showed good response, well tolerated by children but between the two, KOH showed fast recovery and most lesions were resolved before 4 week. The side effects could be minimized if applied as stated above. On the other hand, tretinoin showed delayed response and even some of lesion extended beyond 4 week but the side effect were less, and hence can be used in recurrent cases.

“…The fact that the distribu tion of the lesions is similar to that observed in children points to the latter hypothesis. Molluscum contagiosum in healthy persons is usually a self-limited disease that re solves spontaneously over 3-12 months [12], We have not seen spontaneous cure in HIV-infected patients, and the disease runs a chronic relapsing course.…”

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral disease of the skin caused by poxvirus. Infection is usually spread by direct contact, particularly among children and young adults. It may occur on the skin and mucous membranes, with a predilection for the trunk and anogenital areas. Ocular molluscum contagiosum is very rare. Here we present a case of right lower eyelid region molluscum contagiosum. This patient is a 28 years old young woman from Ramchandropur, Pabna, Bangladesh. She noticed a painless swelling in her right lower eyelid for six months. Examination revealed a firm, rough and non-tender growth. There was no visual disturbance. After excisional biopsy, histopathological examination was performed. Microscopically, it shows verrucous epidermal hyperplasia and multiple intracytoplasmic molluscum bodies which are diagnostic key feature of molluscum contagiosum.KYAMC Journal Vol. 5, No.-2, Jan 2015, Page 537-539
