      ab: A 15-month-old patient, diagnosed with Molluscum contagiosum (MC), which began with a four-lesion skin rash, that spread across his upper torso (and scrotum) resulting in more than one hundred red, swollen, raised, and itchy lesions. MC is an infection caused by the pox virus and commonly heals without treatment, although this may take months or even years. In the pediatric population, infectious and contagious skin conditions which can spread through a daycare or school setting, are often treated. This patient's MC resolved over six weeks with Erchonia laser (low level violet light therapy) and oral and topical application of an herbal formula (Biocidin LSF). No side effects were noted or reported.
