Molluscum contagiosum folliculitis is a specific presentation of folliculitis caused by pox virus infection. This protocol addresses the management of this distinct clinical scenario.
Molluscum contagiosum folliculitis presents as multiple discrete pruritic whitish papules over the beard area, representing a pox virus–driven follicular process that requires targeted management distinct from common bacterial folliculitis.
Procedural removal is central to management, with curettage representing the most commonly employed modality. Several alternative procedural approaches may also be considered depending on the clinical context.
