title: Molluscum contagiosum in atopic dermatitis treated with 0.1% tacrolimus ointment.
abstract: A case of molluscum contagiosum arising on the face and neck of a woman using topical tacrolimus over a period of 6 weeks for the treatment of atopic dermatitis is presented. Of particular note, these lesions remained confined to areas treated with tacrolimus and did not extend to adjacent regions treated with topical corticosteroids.
