Molluscum contagiosum is caused by the pox virus.
This is the same virus which causes chickenpox in
young children. The molluscum rash appears as little
blisters with indents, sometimes having white in them.
Molluscum
Contagiosum is a very common infection and can
be contracted very easily. The infection can be caused
by a child at school with the virus touching other
children.
Contact with people who have the virus is the most
common way to contract it. Molluscum can be spread
through the boy regions by scratching the sores and
rubbing or scratching another part of the body.
Molluscum is spread as easily as any other viral infection.
It can be caused by sharing the same pool water as
someone infected. If one is in a public pool the risk
of infection increases as more people are there. Molluscum
can be contracted through towels, or showering without
protection on the feet, usually in public showers
or in a shower where a family member infected has
been. Children as stated before can always spread
the disease as children have a lot of contact together.

Molluscum Contagiosum can be contracted through a
wrestling match at a high school or college, if any
pustules are popped open or even contacted in a wrestling
match a person who has ever had the disease may become
infected. Keep in mind infection through contact isn't
common although it can happen especially in the younger
generation, who do not have a lot of immunities to
viruses. Cases of molluscum being passed can also
be seen in sexual contact. A person with the disease
on the genitals can pass it on through unprotected
sexual contact making it a probable STD. The molluscum
may develop anywhere from 30 to 90 days after exposure
to the skin.
Your doctor may cause molluscum to appear on the body. Doctors who have molluscum contagiosum can transmit it to a person through surgery. If a part of the hand manages to be uncovered during surgery and it touches a part of the skin on the patient it can cause molluscum to appear. This would be a very rare case as doctors are very careful not to touch the body or allow anything harmful into the blood.
Those who have immune deficiency diseases are prone to molluscum more than normal people and can have much worse outbreaks of the infection. There is no cure for the molluscum but it can be treated by a doctor or at home.
Reviewing the Causes of Molluscum
Remember this is a very common disease. It is caused by direct contact from skin to skin; children are huge contractors of molluscum. Anyone can contract the disease it does not pick those who are weaker or less immune although as in everything immune deficiency patients have it worse. People who frequent pools or public shower areas can contract molluscum from the tiles in the shower. Wearing water socks and avoiding public swimming can help to keep the people safe from disease. Scratching or itching molluscum blisters can cause it to spread so this is not recommended. Molluscum can be sexually transmitted by both men and women so it is a good idea to have protected sex and avoid sexual contact with those you suspect may have the infection.
