Moluscum contagious disease
Hello doctors.
I am suffering from molluscum contagious so i consulted a dermatologist and he gave tretinoin gel usp 0.1% so I used this cream and my skin feels burning and itchy so today I consulted another dermatologist and he suggested me imiquimod cream , so i want to ask you can i use this cream on my face as he told me to use it three days in a week in night.
Please suggest me if this cream is ok for this disease as I don't want to undergo laser or niddle treatment.
Your response will be appreciated.
Thank you
