Molluscum can be identified in all skin tones by their smooth, dome-shaped appearance, tendency to form in clusters, and central umbilication, which helps to differentiate them from verruca. In darker tones, the presence of erythema may not be as pronounced and post-inflammatory changes, such as hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, are often more prominent findings.
