Papule


Lichen nitidus consists of tiny flesh colored to pink raised lesions (papules). The papules are asymptomatic but persist for long periods of time. They generally occur only on the abdomen, flexor surfaces of the elbows and palms, and on the male genitalia.

Papulovesicular Accrolated Syndrome



Molluscum contagiosa is typically a disease of children. Molluscum appears as small, smooth, white to whitish yellow waxy bumps (papules) often with a dimpled center (umbilicated). They may appear in lines where the children have scratched and spread the virus. (Courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control.)



Molluscum contagiosum are small, raised, pearly skin lesions caused by the molluscum virus, a member of the poxvirus family. They occur frequently in children and less often in adults. In adults, they may be considered a sexually transmitted disease. Immunocompromised individuals may experience heavy outbreaks of these lesions.



Molluscum is a viral infection which is generally self-limited. The lesions are typically raised, firm, flesh-colored bumps (papules) with a pearly or smooth shiny appearance. They may have a small dimple in the center (umbilicated) as seen in this photograph. This condition is more common in children.



Molluscum is a viral infection which generally goes away by itself (is self-limited). The lesions are typically raised, firm, flesh-colored bumps (papules) with a pearly or smooth shiny appearance.



Molluscum is a benign infection which is generally self-limited. The lesions are typically raised, firm, flesh-colored bumps (papules) with a pearly or smooth shiny appearance. These are classical appearing Molluscum. The large lesion in the center is one that has been picked and scratched and shows evidence of low-grade inflammation.



These two small, red, elevated bumps (papules) are molluscum contagiosum, and are seen here near the nipple. Notice the central dimple (umbilicated) in each lesion and the shiny or pearly appearance.



Molluscum is a viral infection that causes small, raised, smooth or pearly bumps on the surface of the skin. These are normally flesh colored and may have a dimpled (umbilicated) center. This condition is most commonly seen in children and immunocompromised individuals.
