Homoeopathic management in molluscum contagiosum

Abstract

Homoeopathy has been acclaimed for the treatment of Molluscum Contagiosum. The treatment is targeted towards the root of the illness and hence homeopathy brings about lasting cure rather than temporary relief. The lesion is small, usually asymptomatic, caused by a DNA virus of the pox group. It is more common and extensive in people with atopic eczema especially associated with asthma or hay fever; people whose immunity is suppressed because of recurrent infections or immuno-suppressant diseases like HIV- AIDS and those who are on corticosteroid treatment for a long time. The homoeopathic treatment are prescribed on the basis of the chief complaint as well as on the basis of an in-depth study of the entire constitution of an individual, it only helps in getting rid of the existing molluscum contagiosum but it also helps in removing the tendency for this condition to recur.
