  • Title: Ken and Katie caterpillar: helpful props for treatment of molluscum contagiosum.
    Author: Silverman RA, Lucky A.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2003; 20(3):279-80. PubMed ID: 12787284.
    Abstract:
    A hand-made prop that aids in the efficient treatment of molluscum contagiosum with curettage or cantharidin is described. Small bandages or pieces of tape are affixed to a tongue depressor prior to the procedure so that they may be placed quickly over the treated molluscum. This improves time management and helps to reduce patient anxiety.
