Abstract
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a self-limited, benign skin infection caused by a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the poxvirus family. It is most commonly observed in children and sexually active adults. In children, MC lesions typically appear on the face, trunk, and extremities, while in young adults, the virus is often transmitted sexually, causing lesions on the genital area. MC lesions are characterized by dome-shaped papules with central umbilication. MC affecting the nipple-areola complex is an extremely rare presentation, with only six previously reported cases involving women.
