Teixidó C, et al. - Experts compared the effectiveness of potassium hydroxide topical treatment at different concentrations with that of placebo in terms of complete clearing of Molluscum contagiosum lesions. They also evaluated the safety and tolerance of potassium hydroxide topical treatment. They conducted a double-blind randomized clinical trial of 3 treatments (potassium hydroxide 10%, potassium hydroxide 15%, placebo) applied once daily up to complete clearing of lesions (maximum duration 60 days) in children aged 2-6 years in primary health care pediatric offices in Catalonia, Spain. As per results, high rates of efficacy were demonstrated with potassium hydroxide 10% and 15% in clearing Molluscum contagiosum lesions. Potassium hydroxide 10% was better tolerated.
