How does MolluDab® work?

MolluDab® works by breaking down the skin cells infected by the virus. When applied onto the molluscum bumps it stimulates the body’s own immune system to detect the virus and can treat the bumps, usually in 1-4 weeks.

MolluDab® is clinically proven to treat molluscum contagiosum in 1 to 4 weeks.

In clinical studies, 5% potassium hydroxide (i.e. MolluDab®) is proven to be as effective as some other treatments*, but with less skin irritation.

MolluDab® is ideal to treat molluscum contagiosum at home.

MolluDab® comes with an applicator that’s precise, easy to use and helps protect healthy skin.

MolluDab® is suitable for adults and children over 2 years old.

Molludab® can still be applied for up to 14 days to any bumps that are not inflamed and any new bumps that appear during the healing process.

How to apply MolluDab®

1. Before using MolluDab®

The box can be used as a stand; press in the perforation and place the bottle in the opening to help prevent spillages while using MolluDab®. Once opened MolluDab® should be used within 4 weeks.

2. Applying MolluDab® to the molluscum bumps

Open the child safe lid. The bottle has a protective funnel, when pulling out the spatula excess liquid is stripped off. Dab all the molluscum bumps with the flat side of the spatula. After applying to 1 – 3 bumps, wet the spatula with MolluDab® again. Allow the solution to dry on the bumps. Apply MolluDab® twice daily (morning and evening).

3. End of use

As soon as inflammation appears (recognisable by redness that lasts for 12 hours or more) stop using the product because it indicates that a molluscum bump is healing. Stop using MolluDab® after 14 days, even if no inflammation is apparent and consult your doctor for further advice.  

4. Wait for the molluscum lesions to heal

The inflammation indicates that your body is fighting the molluscum bumps. Now it’s time to be patient and wait for the molluscum bumps to heal. Once inflamed, healing usually takes between 1 and 4 weeks.
