Molluscum contagiosum



Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a viral infection that affects the skin. Around 9 out of 10 cases happen in children although it can occur at any age.

The virus can be spread through close direct contact, touching contaminated objects, or sexual contact.

MC is generally a harmless condition that normally gets better in a few months without any specific treatment.

Due to essential major building work next to the main entrance to Sexual Health Dorset @ Weymouth, our front entrance will be closed. Access will be via a fire exit from the small car park next to the white railings (to the left of the main entrance). There is signage to help direct you to the temporary entrance.

Thank you for your understanding while these temporary arrangements are in place’
