Molluscum contagiosum - 傳染性軟疣https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molluscum_contagiosum
傳染性軟疣 (Molluscum contagiosum) 是一種皮膚病毒感染,會形成小的凸起、粉紅色病灶,常伴有輕微癢感。

此感染由傳染性軟疣病毒 (MCV) 引起,透過直接接觸(包括性行為)或受污染的物品(如毛巾)傳播,亦可自行擴散至身體其他部位。危險因子包括免疫功能低下與異位性皮膚炎。

可考慮使用冷凍、雷射或刮除等機械方式去除病灶;亦可塗抹 cantharidin(鬼臼毒素) 或 salicylic acid(水楊酸) 進行治療。

截至 2010 年,全球約有 1.22 億人受此疾病影響(佔總人口的 1.8%),其中一歲至十歲的兒童最常見。感染本身並非讓孩子停課或離開日間照顧中心的理由。

治療 - 非處方藥
避免過度清洗或觸摸受影響區域,因摩擦或抓傷可能促進病毒透過小傷口傳播。建議僅將 salicylic acid(水楊酸) 小心塗抹於病灶處。

Molluscum contagiosum,俗稱水疣,是一種良性皮膚病。Molluscum contagiosum的皮膚病變稱為mollusca。典型的病灶呈圓頂狀、圓形,顏色為粉紫色。
Molluscum contagiosum, also called water warts, is a benign condition of the skin. The skin lesions of molluscum contagiosum are called mollusca. The typical lesion appears dome-shaped, round, and pinkish-purple in color.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) 是常見的皮膚感染,常見於兒童、性活躍的成年人以及免疫功能較弱者。它由名為 molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) 的病毒引起,屬於痘病毒科。MCV 主要透過直接接觸受感染的皮膚傳播,傳播方式可為性接觸、非性接觸,甚至是再次觸碰已受影響的部位。MC 通常呈現為皮膚上堅硬的圓形結節,顏色多為粉紅或膚色,中心光滑有光澤。病變可在任何部位持續 6 至 9 個月,之後自行消退。結節的大小、形狀與位置因人而異,免疫功能低下者更易出現濕疹或細菌感染等併發症。
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 和 warts 是由病毒感染引起的。Molluscum contagiosum 通常會自行消失,不會產生任何持久影響,但在免疫系統較弱的人群中可能更為普遍。雖然病灶通常會自行消失,但刮除、冷凍療法或使用某些酸類等治療方法可以加速康復並降低病毒傳播的機會。另一方面,疣是由人類乳突病毒引起的皮膚增厚性增生。根據疣的部位與外觀,常見的類型包括 common warts、periungual warts、flat warts、filiform warts 以及 plantar warts。疣的治療方式多樣,常見包括使用酸、冷凍療法、刮除、藥物治療或提升免疫功能等。
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.
