Abstract: Molluscum contagiosum is an infection disease of the skin caused by Molluscipox virus. This disease is transmitted through direct and indirect contact, such as the use of personal goods together. This disease primarily affects children and actively sexual adult. The world highest prevalence of mollucum contagiosum was reported in East Afrika, as much as 52%. In Indonesia, the prevalence is high, around 40.4% of all skin diseases. This is a descriptive study, with the retrospective approach. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of molluscum contagiosum. The study population is all new patients who come to the outpatient clinic of dermatology and venereology Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado. The study sample is all new patients diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum. This study found that, from 2013-2015 periods, a total of 60 patients (1.66%) were diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum. This infection is likely to be found in men (31 patients; 51.7%), 5-14 years old age group (38; 63.3%), and students (29 patients; 48.3%). The location is likely to be in a combination of facial, thorax, and extremities (34 patients: 56.7%). Most of the patients were treated with curettage (56 patients; 93.3%). Based on the study findings, the author suggested to give education to the general public, especially the parents, so the curative, preventive, and promotive efforts can be done well.
