Molluscum and Chicken Pox Link?
Why is molluscum invading our neighborhood and others around the country - is it a growing trend? How come I never remember it being an issue when I was a child. After doing some research, I have a hunch. When I was a kid (in the 1970's) we all got something else called Chicken Pox! But now we have a vaccine for chicken pox for our kids - however, maybe the vaccine does not create immunity for the closely related Molluscum virus. So when I was a kid and got Chicken pox - it made be immune to Molluscum. Maybe a doctor will study this subject some day! Don't forget to give me some credit for figuring it out. :-)
Update: Seems to be less of it in the schools now.
