Herpes simplex virus (HSV)

Human papilloma virus (HPV)
D
Molluscum contagiosum
High-Yield Explanation
Molluscum contagiosum may affect any area of the skin but is most common on the trunk, arms, and legs. Diagnosis is based on the characteristic clinical appearance of pearly, dome-shaped papules with a dimpled center. The papules measure 1 to 5 mm in diameter, and their central waxy core contains cells with cytoplasmic viral inclusions. These ellipsoid inclusions are seen in stratum corneum/granulosum layers of skin and are called "molluscum bodies".
