Eyelid molluscum contagiosum lesion in a pediatric patient treated with topical nail polish.

Molluscum contagiosum causes umbilicated periocular lesions, which commonly affect children. Topical clear nail polish for treatment of molluscum has been reported anecdotally, but there are few reports in the medical literature. We report the case of an eyelid molluscum lesion in an 8-year-old girl that resolved with 4 topical applications of nail polish over 6 weeks.
