Hybrid

Supported by an independent educational grant from Pelthos Therapeutics Inc.

overview

Are you still telling parents to "just wait it out?" While molluscum contagiosum (MC) is often labeled as self-limiting, the psychosocial toll—from pool bans to daycare exclusion—is very real for children. This conversational event aims to equip you with the latest evidence-based management strategies. You will explore how to individualize care by balancing patient preferences for home-based vs in-office treatments. Through real-world "Cases From the Community" and interactive Q&A, learn to better manage transmission risks and improve treatment adherence. Don't miss this opportunity to refine your clinical approach.

This symposium is not sponsored, endorsed, or accredited by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
