{Abstract}: Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a skin infection caused by a poxvirus that is highly contagious and common among children. When MC does occur in children less than one year old, it is suspected to be a result of vertical transmission through maternal MC infection. In this report, we describe a case of MC on the scalp of a 10-month-old child that started shortly after birth via Cesarean delivery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of MC in a neonate born via Cesarean delivery without evidence of maternal vertical transmission.
