Molluscum contagiosum in paediatric patients: to treat or not to treat? Could a personalised Imiquimod regimen be the answer to the dilemma?

Conclusions: Our study is one of the few case-control studies in paediatric population carried out with such long-term follow-up. Efficacy of this personalised treatment, scarce recurrence, absence of cicatricial sequelae and lack of necessity for deep sedation, in the case of children with disseminated lesions, makes the use of Imiquimod the first line of treatment compared with other destructive treatments or with no-treatment at all.
