Molluscum contagiosum survey - common approach and attitude towards treatment and research in Dutch general practice

CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that the majority of GPs preferred a conservative approach, adhering to current guidelines. However, most parents preferred treatment to resolve MC and symptoms. Parents' willingness to participate was much higher than GP's, reflecting parents' desire for treatment. These findings underscore the need for continued therapeutic research. Careful preparation and selection of GPs and patients will be essential to ensure the feasibility of such an endeavor.TRIAL REGISTRATION: This survey study was not part of a clinical trial.PMID:38057771 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-023-02226-y
