Abstract
AbstractMolluscum contagiosum (MC) is the most frequent human disease resulting from poxvirus infection. It has a worldwide distribution. Children are usually affected. There is no specific systemic treatment for MC, but a variety of techniques for physical ablation have been used. Homoeopathic treatment offers an effective and safe treatment with painless management of the MC cases. Here, a 3.6-year-old female child presented with complaints of papular eruptions on the face for the last 1 year. She was effectively treated by individualised homoeopathic medicine Calcarea carbonica. Improvement in the case was assessed by outcome in relation to impact on daily living scale at each month for 05 months during follow-ups and possible causal attribution of the changes in the case was measured using ‘Modified Naranjo Criteria’. This case report showed positive role and efficacy of homoeopathic treatment of MC in children.
