10 Molluscum Contagiosum Symptoms
Symptom #4: Itchiness
Another thing that people with molluscum may notice is that their bumps tend to become itchy. This usually doesn’t become an issue until after they have had their bumps for several days because, at first, they tend not to feel like much at all.
Just like any other condition that causes itchiness, it’s important not to scratch at your bumps too much. Doing so can aggravate them, and scratching them too hard can actually rupture them. This can lead to an exposed wound which puts the patient at further risk for developing other infections, which can hinder the healing of the molluscum.
