10 Molluscum Contagiosum Symptoms
Symptom #5: Cheesy or Waxy Substance in Bumps
During the later stages of the illness, patients may notice that they are developing a cheesy or waxy substance in their bumps. This substance tends to gather or collect in the little dimples that are present in the bumps after they have been present for several days.
Many patients may be inclined to squeeze or pop their bumps to eliminate the cheesy substance. Doing this can lead to them becoming open wounds, which can make a patient more prone to developing other infections.
