What Is Molluscum Contagiosum?
4. Sexual Contact
As mentioned, molluscum contagiosum is a disease that is spread by skin to skin contact. When people have sex, there tends to be a lot of skin to skin contact involved. The disease is often spread through contact with an infected person’s genitals. This is the most common way that the disease will be spread among adults.
In adults, the bumps are most likely to be found in the genital area, although they can spread to other parts of the body. It is not necessary for bodily fluids to be exchanged in order for a person to contract the disease sexually. Wearing a condom will provide some protection, depending on where on the body the bumps are.
