Pharmacist FAQs Answered

What is MolluDab used for?

MolluDab is a molluscum contagiosum topical cream, a viral skin disease that causes small, pearl-like, raised spots on the skin. It is spread by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) and is spread through direct contact with the skin or by touching infected surfaces. MolluDab contains 5% potassium hydroxide, which breaks down the virus-infected cells. This helps the body's immune system detect and fight the virus and recover. MolluDab is ideal for children over 2 years and adults, and is most useful for quick relief from visible bumps and fast recovery.

How do I properly use MolluDab?

To use MolluDab, use the plastic spatula applicator provided. Dip it into the solution, remove excess liquid on the bottle's rim, and dab the flat side directly on every molluscum bump. Let it dry in the air. Apply the solution twice a day on all the infected spots. Stop using as soon as there is inflammation—this means the immune system has reacted and the bumps are healing. If inflammation does not follow within 14 days, discontinue treatment and see a physician. Do not use the solution on broken skin, eyes, mouth, or genitalia.

How long will it take MolluDab to work?

MolluDab generally will cause molluscum bumps to heal within 1 to 5 weeks of treatment initiation. Inflammation, which typically shows up in the initial days, indicates that the treatment has started to work and that the immune system has started acting. Treatment must be discontinued after inflammation, so healing can occur naturally. If there is no inflammation within 14 days of regular use, discontinue use and see your doctor. The precise healing time can differ based on the number of bumps, their location, and the individual's immune response.

Is MolluDab safe for kids?

Yes, MolluDab is safe for children aged 2 years and older. It's commonly applied in paediatric cases when molluscum contagiosum is painful, spreading, or impacting visible skin areas. However, care must be taken to apply it only to the bumps and avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and sensitive areas such as the genitals. Monitor your child during application to prevent accidental ingestion or contact with inappropriate areas. As always, follow the instructions exactly and stop using the product if inflammation occurs or if there’s no improvement after 14 days.

Are there any side effects or cautions I should be aware of?

MolluDab may produce mild inflammation or irritation of the skin, which is to be expected and usually indicates that the treatment is working. You should not use it on damaged skin, mucous membranes, wounds, or the eyes. You should not get it on clothing as it may stain. You should not ingest it. If accidental eye exposure or ingestion occurs, immediately call medical assistance. Discontinue use if too much redness, stinging, or strange reactions occur. Always supervise children while applying and store the bottle securely beyond reach.
