Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a self-limiting cutaneous viral eruption that is very common in children. MC infection can trigger an eczematous reaction around molluscum papules known as a hypersensitivity or an id reaction. In addition, a hypersensitivity reaction can occasionally occur at sites distant from the primary molluscum papules. These eczematous reactions are often asymptomatic or minimally pruritic. We believe that id reactions represent an immunologically mediated host response to MC virus and a harbinger of regression.
