Randomized Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial on Efficacy and Safety of Topical 10% Potassium Hydroxide for Molluscum Contagiosum Treatment in Children.

Conclusions KOH 10% was superior to placebo in the main efficacy outcome and most secondary efficacy outcomes. KOH 10% patients had more AE and intolerance symptoms than placebo, although there were no severe AE and most patients recovered. KOH 10% is an effective and safe topical treatment for MC infection in children. PMID: 30668179 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
