Molluscum contagiosum secondary prevention

Prevent spreading
To prevent molluscum contagiosum from spreading:
 * Try not to scratch. Put a piece of tape or a bandage over any bumps.
 * Avoid contact sports, swimming pools, and shared baths and articles of clothing (towels.)
 * If bumps are on the face, avoid shaving.
 * If bumps are on the genital area, avoid sexual activity.
