10 Molluscum Contagiosum Symptoms
Symptom #6: Spreading Bumps by Scratching
The reason that we recommend not scratching or picking at your bumps is not only because this can aggravate the bumps themselves, but because this can help to spread the disease. One thing that many patients have noticed is that, after excessively picking or scratching, they begin to develop bumps on other parts of their bodies.
This is because the disease can be easily transferred to other areas of the body, especially if the bumps are scratched to the point of rupturing. This can make the condition more apparent and will cause it to take much more time to heal.
