AB  - An  8-year-old  girl  is  brought  to  the  office  because  of  an  outbreak  of  bumps  on  her  face  for  the  past  3  months  (Figure  130-1).  Occasionally  she  scratches  them,  but  she  is  otherwise  asymptomatic.  The  mother  and  child  are  unhappy  with  the  appearance  of  the  molluscum  contagiosum  and  chose  to  try  topical  imiquimod  5%  cream.  Fortunately,  her  health  insurance  covered  this  expensive  treatment.  A  topical  treatment  was  chosen  to  avoid  the  risk  of  hypopigmentation  that  can  occur  in  dark-skinned  individuals  with  cryotherapy.
