KOH for molluscum?

I read that molutrex is OTC available in Europe for molluscum lesions, do we have something similar in India for molluscum? 5% potassium hydroxide solution?

Koh is not that effective, though used for kids where removal is not possible. It’s always better to get it removed as it spreads.
Next Steps
Visit dermatologist
