Topical adapalene for the treatment of follicular conjunctivitis due to periocular molluscum contagiosum in children()
PURPOSE: Periocular molluscum contagiosum can cause a chronic secondary follicular conjunctivitis or keratoconjunctivitis that rarely leads to corneal scarring and visual impairment. We describe two cases of follicular conjunctivitis due to periocular molluscum contagiosum that were successfully tre...

description | PURPOSE: Periocular molluscum contagiosum can cause a chronic secondary follicular conjunctivitis or keratoconjunctivitis that rarely leads to corneal scarring and visual impairment. We describe two cases of follicular conjunctivitis due to periocular molluscum contagiosum that were successfully treated with topical adapalene 0.1%. OBSERVATIONS: Case 1 is a 9-year old female with a history of leg molluscum contagiosum who presented with three 1mm flesh-colored umbilicated papules on the periocular skin of the right eye with associated follicular conjunctivitis and diffuse corneal punctate epithelial erosions. Ocular symptoms were persistent for 6 months. Case 2 is a 4-year old female with a 3-month history of right periocular bumps and one month of conjunctival redness with eyelid edema. Examination revealed umbilicated flesh colored nodules on the right upper and lower eyelids with associated trace conjunctival injection. Both patients experienced rapid resolution of both eyelid involvement and conjunctivitis following the use of twice daily topical adapalene 0.1% to the eyelid lesions, with no reported side effects. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Topical adapalene 0.1% is a cost-effective, convenient, and non-toxic over-the-counter retinoid cream that should be considered for first-line therapy in the treatment of periocular molluscum contagiosum and any associated conjunctivitis. |
