Molluscum contagiosum. The disease manifests itself in the form of a slightly dense nodule ranging in size from the head of a pin to two to three millimeters, rise above the surface of the skin. The color of the formation is slightly pinkish. If molluscum contagiosum is squeezed, white, mushy contents flow out of it.
Warts are characterized by the appearance of nodules and growths. Clinical symptoms depend on the type of papilloma virus. Their manifestations are quite diverse
Viral exanthemas. Skin rashes caused by various airborne viruses. Most often, children suffer from these diseases. Among them are measles, rubella, erythema infectiosum, etc.
Although most viral dermatoses do not pose a serious threat to the patient and go away on their own after a few days, there remains a risk of complications if another infection occurs or the virus spreads, or viral dermatosis may cause a more severe course of another disease.
