Molluscum contagiosum is a common childhood condition, and although it is self-limited, treatments are often prescribed. Several medications are available, but there is no consensus regarding the optimal choice in the pediatric population. We report a child who underwent potassium hydroxide 5% treatment resulting in superficial diffuse erosions caused by the inappropriate application. This underlines the importance of parent education before use of this medication with well-known caustic properties.
传染性软疣是一种常见的儿童疾病,虽然它具有自限性,但通常会开处治疗方法。有几种药物可供选择,但在儿科人群中,对于最佳选择尚无共识。我们报告了一例因不当使用 5%氢氧化钾而导致浅表弥漫性糜烂的儿童病例。这强调了在使用这种具有腐蚀性的药物之前对家长进行教育的重要性。
