Q. My child has molluscum contagiosum. Will it go away on its own?

A.

It may heal naturally, but this can take several months to over a year, and during that time, it can be transmitted to siblings or friends. If your child is scratching, treatment should be provided.

📝 Detailed Answer

물사마귀(전염성 연속종)는 면역력이 약한 어린이에게 흔한 바이러스 질환입니다.

  • 특징: 가운데가 옴폭 들어간 분홍색 구진, 터지면 하얀 알갱이가 나옴
  • 전염: 수건, 물놀이, 형제간 목욕을 통해 쉽게 전염
  • 치료: 아프지 않은 한약 복용과 율무가 들어간 외용제를 사용합니다.
💡 등원 자제?

전염력이 있으니 수영장이나 목욕탕은 피해야 하며, 긁어서 터뜨리지 않도록 손톱을 짧게 깎아주세요.
