Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV), a member of the poxvirus family. It produces small, round, pearly bumps — called papules — on the skin, and it spreads easily through direct skin-to-skin contact or shared towels and clothing. Children are particularly susceptible, though adults can develop it too, especially through close contact. Molluscum contagiosum treatment with MolluDab offers a targeted, clinically recognised approach to clearing these lesions at home, without the need for a GP referral. You can browse our wider range of skin care products if you're managing other skin concerns alongside this condition.
MolluDab Solution contains 5% potassium hydroxide (KOH) in a 2ml bottle with a built-in applicator brush. It is an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine, meaning no prescription is required. At £21.49, it represents a practical option for families and individuals looking to treat molluscum lesions without waiting for a dermatology appointment.
How Does MolluDab Solution Work on Lesions?
Potassium hydroxide is a strongly alkaline compound. When applied directly to a molluscum papule, it works through a process of chemical keratolysis — essentially breaking down the structural proteins within the lesion. This disrupts the integrity of the papule and triggers a localised inflammatory immune response, which then helps the body recognise and clear the viral infection.
The alkaline solution penetrates the outer layer of the papule.
It breaks down the keratin and viral proteins within the lesion.
This causes the papule to become inflamed and eventually break open.
The immune system is then activated to clear the remaining viral material.
Treated lesions typically resolve within days to weeks of this inflammatory response.
Who Should Use MolluDab Solution?
MolluDab is suitable for a range of patients, though it must always be used carefully and according to the instructions. It is particularly useful when lesions are numerous, persistent, or causing distress — especially in children who may find the condition embarrassing at school or in social settings.
Children aged 2 years and over (applied by an adult).
Adults with molluscum contagiosum lesions on the body or limbs.
Patients who prefer an at-home treatment over clinical procedures.
Those whose lesions have not resolved naturally after several months.
It is not suitable for use on the face, genitals, or near the eyes. If you are immunocompromised or have a skin condition such as eczema, speak to your GP before using MolluDab.

Is MolluDab Suitable for Sensitive Skin or Young Children?
Because potassium hydroxide is alkaline, it can cause irritation to healthy skin if applied incorrectly. The built-in applicator brush is designed to allow precise, targeted application directly onto each papule. Parents using MolluDab on children should take extra care to avoid surrounding skin, and should stop treatment on any individual lesion once it becomes visibly inflamed — this is the sign that the treatment has done its job. If your child has sensitive or eczema-prone skin, consult your GP first. You may also find it helpful to explore our baby and toddler range for complementary gentle skin products.

What Is MolluDab Solution and What Is It Used For?
MolluDab Solution is a topical medicine containing 5% potassium hydroxide. It is used to treat molluscum contagiosum, a viral skin infection that causes small, dome-shaped papules with a characteristic central dimple. The condition is caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus and is most common in children, though it can affect adults too — particularly those with weakened immune systems or those who have had close skin contact with an infected person. MolluDab works by chemically disrupting the lesion, prompting the body's immune system to clear the infection. It is an over-the-counter product, available without a prescription.
What Do You Need to Know Before Using MolluDab Solution?
Before using MolluDab, read the following contraindications and warnings carefully. This solution is alkaline and can cause chemical burns if misused.
Do not use on the face, eyelids, or near the eyes.
Do not use on genital or perianal lesions without medical advice.
Do not apply to inflamed, broken, or infected skin.
Do not use if you are allergic to potassium hydroxide or any other ingredient.
Do not use in children under 2 years of age.
Avoid use if you have eczema, psoriasis, or another active skin condition in the treatment area.
Consult your GP before use if you are immunocompromised (e.g. due to HIV, chemotherapy, or long-term steroid use).
No significant drug interactions have been identified for topical potassium hydroxide. However, avoid using other topical preparations on the same area at the same time unless advised by a healthcare professional.
No known interactions with oral medicines.
Avoid concurrent use of other keratolytic agents (e.g. salicylic acid) on the same lesions.
How Should You Use MolluDab Solution Correctly?
Precise application is essential. The built-in applicator brush allows you to target each lesion individually. Always wash your hands before and after use, and take care not to touch your eyes or mouth during application.
Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying.
Open the MolluDab bottle and use the built-in brush applicator.
Apply a small amount of solution directly onto each molluscum papule only — do not apply to surrounding healthy skin.
Allow the solution to dry completely before covering with clothing.
Repeat twice daily (morning and evening) until each lesion becomes visibly inflamed.
Once a lesion is inflamed, stop applying MolluDab to that specific spot — inflammation signals successful treatment.
Continue treating any remaining uninflamed lesions until they too respond.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of MolluDab Solution?
Like all medicines, MolluDab can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Some reactions are actually expected and indicate the treatment is working. If you're managing other skin conditions alongside molluscum, you may find our creams and ointments collection useful for soothing surrounding skin.
Common side effects (expected and usually mild):
Localised stinging or burning at the application site.
Redness and inflammation around the treated lesion.
Mild swelling of the papule — this is a sign the treatment is working.
Less common side effects (seek advice if these occur):
Blistering or ulceration of the skin.
Spreading redness beyond the treated area.
Significant pain or discomfort that does not settle.
Allergic skin reaction (rash, hives, or intense itching).
If you accidentally get MolluDab in your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention. Do not continue use if you experience severe or worsening skin reactions.

How does MolluDab work on molluscum contagiosum lesions?
MolluDab contains 5% potassium hydroxide, a strongly alkaline compound that breaks down the protein structure of each molluscum papule through a process called chemical keratolysis. This causes the lesion to become inflamed and break open, which then triggers your immune system to recognise and clear the viral infection. The result is gradual resolution of the treated lesions over days to weeks.
How do I use MolluDab step by step?
Wash and dry the affected area, then use the built-in applicator brush to apply a small amount of MolluDab directly onto each molluscum papule — avoiding surrounding healthy skin. Allow it to dry fully before dressing, and repeat this process twice daily, morning and evening. Stop applying to any individual lesion once it becomes visibly red and inflamed, as this signals successful treatment of that spot.
How long does MolluDab take to work?
Most lesions begin to show a visible inflammatory response — redness and swelling — within one to two weeks of twice-daily application. The overall treatment duration depends on how many lesions you have and how quickly each one responds. Some patients clear all lesions within a few weeks, while others with multiple papules may need to continue for longer.
What are the side effects of MolluDab and how do I manage them?
The most common side effects are localised stinging, redness, and mild burning at the application site — these are expected and indicate the solution is working. If you experience blistering, spreading redness, or significant pain, stop use immediately and consult your pharmacist or GP. Applying the solution precisely to each lesion and avoiding healthy skin will help minimise irritation.
Is MolluDab safe for children to use?
Yes, MolluDab is suitable for children aged 2 years and over, but it must always be applied by a responsible adult. Extra care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and healthy surrounding skin. If your child has sensitive skin, eczema, or another skin condition, speak to your GP before starting treatment.
Who is eligible to use MolluDab Solution?
MolluDab is suitable for children aged 2 and over and for adults who have molluscum contagiosum lesions on the body or limbs. It is not suitable for use on the face, genitals, or near the eyes, and should not be used by people with broken, inflamed, or infected skin in the treatment area. Those who are immunocompromised should consult a GP before use.
What happens if I accidentally apply MolluDab to healthy skin?
If MolluDab contacts healthy skin, rinse the area immediately with plenty of clean water to dilute the alkaline solution. You may notice temporary redness or mild irritation, which should settle quickly. If irritation persists or you notice blistering, seek advice from a pharmacist or GP.
What should I do if I miss an application of MolluDab?
If you miss a dose, simply apply MolluDab at your next scheduled time — do not apply a double amount to make up for the missed application. Consistency is important for effective treatment, so try to stick to your twice-daily routine as closely as possible. Missing the occasional application is unlikely to significantly affect your overall results.
How long can you use MolluDab for?
You should continue using MolluDab twice daily until all lesions have become inflamed and resolved. Treatment typically lasts several weeks, depending on the number and size of lesions. If you have not seen any response after four weeks of consistent use, or if new lesions continue to appear, speak to your GP or a dermatologist for further assessment.
What are the alternatives to MolluDab for molluscum contagiosum?
The main alternative is watchful waiting — molluscum contagiosum often resolves on its own within 12 to 18 months without any treatment, according to the NHS. Other options that may be discussed with a GP or dermatologist include cryotherapy (freezing), curettage (scraping), or other topical agents. MolluDab offers a convenient at-home option that can speed up resolution compared to waiting.
Can adults use MolluDab for molluscum contagiosum?
Yes, MolluDab is suitable for adults as well as children aged 2 and over. Adults may develop molluscum contagiosum through skin-to-skin contact, and the condition can be particularly persistent in those with a weakened immune system. If you are immunocompromised, always consult your GP before starting any molluscum contagiosum treatment.
Is MolluDab available on the NHS?
The NHS generally advises watchful waiting for molluscum contagiosum rather than active treatment, as the condition usually resolves on its own. MolluDab is not routinely prescribed on the NHS, but it is available to purchase over the counter from registered pharmacies including Cured Pharmacy. Buying it privately gives you the option to treat lesions proactively rather than waiting for natural resolution.
What are the latest studies on potassium hydroxide for molluscum contagiosum?
Published clinical studies have shown that topical potassium hydroxide solutions — typically at concentrations of 5% to 10% — are effective at clearing molluscum contagiosum lesions, with response rates comparable to other active treatments such as cryotherapy. Research has also found that 5% KOH is generally well tolerated, with localised irritation being the most commonly reported side effect. Always discuss treatment options with a healthcare professional if you are unsure which approach is right for you.
Can MolluDab be used on the face or genitals?
No — MolluDab should not be used on the face, eyelids, or genital area. The skin in these regions is more sensitive and the risk of chemical irritation or injury is significantly higher. If you have molluscum contagiosum lesions in these areas, speak to your GP or a sexual health clinic for appropriate advice and treatment options. You can find further support through our condoms and sexual health collection.
How Should You Use MolluDab Solution?
Always read the patient information leaflet supplied with MolluDab before starting treatment. The built-in applicator brush is designed for precise, targeted application — this is important because the solution must only contact the molluscum papule itself, not the surrounding healthy skin. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after each application.
What Is the Correct Dose of MolluDab Solution?
The correct dose is the smallest amount needed to cover each individual lesion using the applicator brush. There is no fixed volume — the key principle is precision. Applying too much increases the risk of irritation to surrounding skin without improving effectiveness.
When Is the Best Time to Use MolluDab Solution?
Apply MolluDab twice daily — ideally once in the morning after washing and once in the evening before bed. Applying after bathing or showering is particularly effective, as the skin is clean and the lesions are free from any barrier creams or lotions that might reduce penetration. Make sure the skin is fully dry before applying, as moisture can cause the solution to spread beyond the intended area.
How Long Can You Use MolluDab Solution For?
Continue using MolluDab twice daily until all lesions have become inflamed and resolved. Treatment typically takes several weeks, though this varies depending on the number and size of lesions present. If you have not seen any response after four weeks of consistent use, or if new lesions continue to appear, stop treatment and consult your GP or a dermatologist for further assessment. Do not use MolluDab indefinitely without reviewing your progress with a healthcare professional.
Do not exceed the recommended dose. If in doubt, speak to your pharmacist.

What Are the Most Common Side Effects of MolluDab Solution?
The most frequently reported side effects of MolluDab are localised reactions at the application site. These are generally mild and, in many cases, are actually expected signs that the treatment is working. The alkaline nature of potassium hydroxide means some degree of skin reaction is a normal part of the treatment process.
Stinging or burning sensation at the point of application.
Redness (erythema) around the treated lesion.
Mild swelling or inflammation of the papule.
Temporary darkening or crusting of the treated area as the lesion resolves.
What Are the Less Common Side Effects of MolluDab Solution?
Less commonly, some people experience more pronounced skin reactions, particularly if the solution contacts healthy skin or is applied in excess. These reactions are not expected as part of normal treatment and may require you to stop using the product.
Blistering or vesicle formation at or around the application site.
Ulceration of the skin if the solution is applied too liberally.
Spreading redness or irritation beyond the treated lesion.
Persistent or worsening pain that does not settle after application.
Skin hyperpigmentation (darkening) or hypopigmentation (lightening) in the treated area.
What Are the Serious Side Effects of MolluDab Solution?
Serious side effects are rare when MolluDab is used correctly and precisely. However, if the solution contacts the eyes, it can cause significant chemical injury. Eye contact requires immediate action — rinse the eye thoroughly with clean running water for at least 10 to 15 minutes and seek urgent medical attention. Signs of a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) are extremely rare but include widespread rash, swelling of the face or throat, and difficulty breathing — call 999 immediately if these occur.
What Should You Do If You Experience Side Effects of MolluDab?
If you experience mild stinging or redness at the application site, this is expected and you can continue treatment. However, if you notice blistering, spreading irritation, or significant pain, stop using MolluDab immediately and rinse the area with clean water. Contact your pharmacist or GP for advice before resuming treatment. You can also report side effects directly to the MHRA via the Yellow Card scheme at yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk.
Can MolluDab Interact With Other Medicines?
No significant interactions between MolluDab and oral medicines have been identified. However, you should avoid applying other topical preparations — particularly other keratolytic agents such as salicylic acid — to the same lesions at the same time, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. If you are using any other topical treatments on nearby skin, speak to your pharmacist before combining them with MolluDab.
If you are concerned about any side effects, contact your pharmacist or GP immediately.

They include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and herbal extracts. In the UK, they are widely used to support general health, address specific deficiencies, and promote long-term wellbeing. Many people choose to buy vitamins and supplements online in the UK for convenience, particularly when managing ongoing health goals or following guidance from a healthcare professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamins are organic compounds the body needs in small amounts to function correctly. They are either fat-soluble (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K) or water-soluble (such as vitamin C and the B vitamins). Most vitamins cannot be produced by the body in sufficient quantities, so they must come from food or supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMinerals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinerals are inorganic nutrients that support a range of bodily functions, including bone health, nerve function, and immune response.

When taken regularly as directed, they help support normal physiological functions such as metabolism, immune defence, and cell repair. The effectiveness of a supplement depends on the form of the nutrient, the dosage, and how well it is absorbed by the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFat-Soluble Vitamins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K are stored in the body's fatty tissue and liver. They are best absorbed when taken with food containing fat. Because they can accumulate in the body, it is important not to exceed recommended daily amounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWater-Soluble Vitamins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater-soluble vitamins, including vitamin C and the B vitamins, are not stored in large amounts in the body. Excess is excreted in urine, which means they need to be replenished more regularly through diet or daily supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAre There Any Side Effects?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost vitamins and supplements are safe when taken as directed, but some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, digestive discomfort, or headaches, particularly when first starting a new supplement or taking high doses. Fat-soluble vitamins can accumulate to harmful levels if taken in excess. Always follow the recommended dosage on the label and speak to a pharmacist or GP if you experience any concerns or are taking other medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Can Use Vitamins and Supplements?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of vitamins and minerals supplements are suitable for adults and older children, though specific formulations exist for different life stages, including pregnancy, infancy, and older age. Pregnant women, for example, are advised to take folic acid and vitamin D. Some supplements may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking prescription medicines.
