This from http://dermatology.cdlib.org/92/reviews/molluscum/diven.html
"... Tretinoin 0.1% cream has been used in the treatment of MCV. It is applied twice daily to the lesions. Resolution was reported by day 11. Trace erythema at the site of prior lesions was a noted side effect.[41] Tretinoin 0.05% cream has also been used with success and decreased irritation.[35] "
