Molluscum contagiosumhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molluscum_contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum ni maambukizi ya virusi kwenye ngozi ambayo husababisha vidonda vidogo vya waridi. Wanaweza kutokea kwa hisia kidogo ya kuwasha.

Ugonjwa huo husababishwa na virusi vya molluscum contagiosum (MCV). Virusi huenezwa ama kwa mgusano wa moja kwa moja, pamoja na ngono, au kupitia vitu vichafu kama vile taulo. Maambukizi yanaweza pia kuenea kwa maeneo mengine ya mwili wenyewe. Sababu za hatari ni pamoja na mfumo dhaifu wa kinga, na ugonjwa wa atopic.

Uondoaji unaweza kujaribiwa kwa kugandisha, uondoaji wa leza, au uondoaji wa kiufundi kwa zana za kupitisha. Podophyllotoxin au asidi salicylic iliyotiwa kwenye ngozi, inaweza pia kutumika kwa matibabu.

Takriban watu milioni 122 duniani kote waliathiriwa na ugonjwa huo kufikia mwaka wa 2010 (1.8% ya watu). Ni kawaida zaidi kwa watoto kati ya umri wa mwaka mmoja na kumi. Kuwa na maambukizi sio sababu ya kumfanya mtoto asiende shule au huduma ya mchana.

○ Matibabu - Dawa za OTC
Usioshe au kugusa sana eneo lililoathiriwa, kwani kusugua au kukwaruza kutafanya virusi kuenea kutoka kwa mikato ndogo. Jaribu kutumia asidi ya salicylic kwa uangalifu kwa eneo lililoathiriwa tu.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) ni maambukizi ya ngozi yanayopatikana kwa watoto, watu wazima wanaofanya ngono na watu walio na kinga dhaifu. Husababishwa na virusi vinavyoitwa molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) , sehemu ya familia ya Poxviridae. MCV huenea hasa kwa kugusana moja kwa moja na ngozi iliyoambukizwa, ambayo inaweza kutokea kwa kujamiiana, bila kujamiiana, au hata kwa kugusa eneo lililoathiriwa tena. MC kwa kawaida huonekana kama matuta madhubuti, ya mviringo kwenye ngozi, kwa kawaida rangi ya waridi au ya ngozi, na katikati inayong'aa. Wanaweza kudumu kutoka miezi 6 hadi 9 kabla ya kwenda peke yao. Matuta yanaweza kutofautiana kwa ukubwa, umbo, na mahali, hasa kwa watu walio na kinga dhaifu, na wakati mwingine inaweza kusababisha matatizo kama vile eczema au maambukizi ya bakteria.
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a self-limited infectious dermatosis, frequent in pediatric population, sexually active adults, and immunocompromised individuals. It is caused by molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) which is a virus of the Poxviridae family. MCV is transmitted mainly by direct contact with infected skin, which can be sexual, non-sexual, or autoinoculation. Clinically, MC presents as firm rounded papules, pink or skin-colored, with a shiny and umbilicated surface. The duration of the lesions is variable, but in most cases, they are self-limited in a period of 6-9 months. The skin lesions may vary in size, shape, and location, which is more frequent in immunosuppressed patients, and could present complications such as eczema and bacterial superinfection.

Molluscum contagiosum na warts husababishwa na maambukizi ya virusi. Molluscum contagiosum kwa kawaida huenda yenyewe bila madhara yoyote ya kudumu, lakini inaweza kuenea zaidi kwa watu walio na kinga dhaifu. Ingawa vidonda kawaida hutoweka vyenyewe, mbinu za matibabu kama vile kukwarua, cryotherapy, au kutumia asidi fulani zinaweza kusaidia kuharakisha kupona na kupunguza uwezekano wa kueneza virusi. Vita, kwa upande mwingine, ni ukuaji wa ngozi wa ngozi unaosababishwa na papillomavirus ya binadamu. Kulingana na eneo lao na kuonekana, warts huwekwa katika aina tofauti (common warts, periungual warts, flat warts, filiform warts, plantar warts) . Chaguzi za matibabu ya warts ni pamoja na njia mbalimbali kama vile kutumia asidi, cryotherapy, kukwarua, kutumia dawa, au kuimarisha mfumo wa kinga.
Molluscum contagiosum and warts are caused by viral infections. Molluscum contagiosum usually goes away on its own without any lasting effects, but it can be more widespread in people with weakened immune systems. Although the lesions typically vanish by themselves, treatment methods like scraping, cryotherapy, or applying certain acids can help speed up recovery and lower the chances of spreading the virus. Warts, on the other hand, are thickened skin growths triggered by the human papillomavirus. Depending on their location and appearance, warts are categorized into different types (common warts, periungual warts, flat warts, filiform warts, plantar warts). Treatment options for warts include various methods like applying acids, cryotherapy, scraping, using medication, or boosting the immune system.
