Molluscum contagiosum — tracker
Track where the bumps are, any redness or itch, and the doctor’s advice, so you can see how they change over the months.
Use these notes with your child’s clinician. This tool does not diagnose illness, prescribe treatment or confirm that home care is safe.
Call 911 now
Call 911 or your local emergency number if your child is very hard to wake, struggles to breathe, or seems to have a life-threatening problem.
Contact a healthcare professional
Seek care today for fever with redness spreading from a bump, or a child who seems ill. Call within a day for a growing red patch, pus or more pain, and book a visit for bumps in the genital area.
Your entries stay in this open page and disappear when it is reloaded or closed. Print a copy if needed. Avoid names and identifying details.
Care reminders
- Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection that causes small, smooth bumps with a dimple in the middle. It is harmless and clears on its own in most healthy children, though it can take months.
- Leave the bumps alone, cover exposed ones, and do not share towels; school and swimming can continue.
- Call for spreading redness, pus or fever, bumps in the genital area, or an eczema flare.
