What is MolluDab

MolluDab Solution is a treatment for molluscum contagiosum (MC) which when applied to the affected areas of skin. It works by breaking down the cells which have been attacked by the virus, build a defence against it and reduce the appearance of the spots overall.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a viral infection that affects the skin and can occur at any age, although it commonly occurs in children. It is generally harmless, if a little unsightly, that should clear within a few months. However, it can also spread to other areas of the body, meaning it can take up to 18 months for the condition to disappear completely.

Symptoms are mild and are usually limited to firm, small, raised spots measuring 2 to 5mm in size on the skin that have a dimple in the middle which can alert you to the fact that the condition is MC. They are not usually painful but can be itchy. They might develop in small clusters in different parts of the body but are most commonly found behind the knees, on the groin or in the armpit. 

The MC virus can be spread through:

• Close and direct contact with an infected person (e.g. touching their skin)
• Touching objects which have been contaminated with the virus (e.g. towels, toys and clothes)
• Sexual contact (all types of intimate touching as well as sexual intercourse)

How does MolluDab solution (5% Potassium Hydroxide) work?

MolluDab Solution contains the active ingredient potassium hydroxide (5%), which is responsible for the improvement in the symptoms of the molluscum contagiosum virus. When it is applied to the spots twice daily as directed, it will break down the skin cells which contain the virus. In doing so, it will alert the immune system to the virus’s presence, allowing it to respond to it by mounting an inflammatory reaction. This inflammatory reaction will kill the virus, clearing it from the skin and allowing it to heal.
