In terms of where the infection is most likely to show up, there isn’t really any particular one size fits all advice or rule of thumb. In fact, the Molluscum can show up pretty much anywhere on a person’s skin.
Kids are most likely to develop the infection on their chest and stomach, given they may play bare-chested for a lot of the time. This also an area that comes into contact a fair bit. The arms too, including the armpits are a common sight, as are the legs.
This is again due to the exposure that these parts of the body experience. It follows then that the face is also a prime site for Molluscum Contagiosum to develop, and it is.
One further site where the infection is common is the genitals of a person. This time, it isn’t exposure that makes this part of the body a likely site for infection, it is the touch that is the culprit instead. Every time a child goes to the bathroom or has a root around in their pants as kids sometimes do, the infection could be passed on unknowingly.
