To use Molluscum Rx:
Step 1: Clean the area.
Step 2: Place a small drop of MolluscumRx on the lesion, rub gently in a circular motion (until you see a whitish paste form) and let the formula dry for 3 minutes. When the formula has completely dried, you’ll notice that it looks similar to a liquid bandage.
Step 3: Apply MolluscumRx twice (2x) per day until the lesions are completely gone. The full treatment process typically takes 3 to 4 weeks.
