Molluscum contagiosum is a virus-induced dermatologic condition causing characteristic pearly lesions on the surface of skin. The lesion is common in children. In adults, it is usually a sexually transmitted disease. Molluscum contagiosum may be found anywhere on the body, although it rarely occurs on the palms and soles. Dermatosis of nipple due to molluscum contagiosum is rare. If it occurs, it is accompanied by lesions in other sites.
