Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of molluscum contagiosum is childhood age. Other risk factors include having multiple sexual partners, immunodeficiency, and participation in contact sports.
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Swimming-pool attendance [1]
- Children
- Participation in contact sports[2]
- Multiple sexual partners[2]
- Immunodeficient states:[3]
- Cellular immunodeficiency, such as occurs in inherited immunodeficiencies
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- Following treatment with immunosuppressive drugs [4]
Less Common Risk Factors
- Atopic dermatitis[5][6]
- Individuals with molluscum contagiosum who have atopic dermatitis typically have higher numbers of MC lesions compared to those without atopic dermatitis.
