Who's At Risk
The typical age of children infected by molluscum contagiosum is 1–5, but infants may also be affected. The lesions may be anywhere on the body, but the face, eyelids, neck, armpits, and thighs are most commonly affected. Infants with eczema (dry, itchy skin) may be more severely affected by molluscum contagiosum.
