Molluscum contagiosum is commonly a self-limiting condition occurring in children [1] it is a benign viral skin disease caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus of the Poxviridae family, which is transmitted by direct contact [2]
This has been shown by some previous reports of widespread molluscum contagiosum infection in patients treated with immunosuppressive drugs [2] such as topical calcipotriol / betamethasone (C/B) in an immunocompetent adult [5] in this patient this was explained by the fact that the patient continued the application of C/B ointment on normal skin long after the complete resolution of his skin prsoriasis inducing a shift of the immune response in the Th2 direction, as in AD patients
