Rodríguez–Martín M et al. – Cantharidin collodion 0.2% was applied by dermatologist in an office setting, with a follow–up at 2 and 4 wk. Patients were evaluated about their experience with cantharidin and other treatments for Molluscum contagiosum (if they had been treated before). Pain experienced with cantharidin technique was measured using a visual analog scale called "Faces Pain Rating Scale." The results of this prospective study have demonstrated that cantharidin could be considered a front line therapy for Molluscum contagiosum in children.
