Autoinoculation
Definition
A pathological process whereby an infectious agent (particularly viruses such as HPV, Molluscum contagiosum, or herpes simplex) is mechanically transferred by the patient from an existing primary lesion to another, healthy area of their own body. The phenomenon frequently occurs through scratching, shaving, or direct friction, leading to the local or regional expansion of the cutaneous or mucosal disease.
