Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection in children with dome-shaped umbilicated nodules. Diagnosis is based on\udclinical appearance. An eight-year-old child presented to our clinic with multiple molluscum contagiosum nodules on the right lower and\udupper eyelid and one small papule on the left upper eyelid. Only a couple of lesions were squeezed with expression of cheesy material from\udthe center of the lesions. In the follow-up period, beside resolution of the squeezed lesions, all other lesions disappeared spontaneously\udand no new lesion was observed in the following one year. This method is costless, neither needs a chemical agent nor results in scarring,\udso can be the first choice of treatment. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2014; 44:158-60
