Abstract
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common, benign, viral infection of the skin and mucous membranes that generally affects children. In adults, the condition may be transmitted sexually. Histopathologically, there is a downgrowth of infected epidermal cells bearing large eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. Herein, we report a case of molluscum contagiosum which occurred in 31-year-old Korean woman with several elevated flesh-colored umbilicated papules following use of a tough nylon towel at a spa.
