A Case Series: Experience of Using 20 Potassium Hydroxide Solution to Treat Adult Sexually Transmitted Molluscum Contagiosum

摘要

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a benign disease of the skin and mucous membrane caused by a poxvirus. To date, there is no standard therapy used for the treatment of MC. Using 10% of potassium hydroxide (KOH) once or twice a day and 20% KOH once a day are often applicable to MC lesions both in children and adults. Nevertheless, the usage of 20% KOH twice a day still has not been reported.
