FAQs

Are your treatments safe for infants?

Yes, our board-certified dermatologists select treatments specifically formulated and clinically approved for young, sensitive pediatric skin.

What is molluscum contagiosum?

It is a common, benign viral skin infection in children that causes small, pearl-like bumps. While it eventually resolves on its own, we can provide treatments to speed up clearance and prevent it from spreading.
