| ==Overview==
| |
| Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus that is a member of the [[poxvirus]] family. You can get the infection in a number of different ways. This is a common infection in children and occurs when a child comes into direct contact with a lesion. It is frequently seen on the face, neck, armpit, arms, and hands but may occur anywhere on the body except the palms and soles. Early lesions on the genitalia may be mistaken for [[herpes]] or [[warts]] but, unlike [[herpes]], these lesions are painless.
