My daughter has bumps on her belly and legs that seem to be spreading. My doctor said it was a viral infection. What is this called and how can we treat it?

Molluscum contagiosum is a virus that causes small red bumps with a white core on the skin of children and adults. It is contagious but not dangerous. It is important to treat because it can spread to other parts of the body and to any other person that comes in contact with the bumps. Treatments for molluscum include painting them with a liquid that makes them blister and go away. There are also creams that you can use at home to treat this problem. See your dermatologist for the best treatment for you.
