t genital warts because of the way they looked and told me that it looks like Molluscum Contagiosum virus. She even perscribed me a topical ointment called Aldara to use every other day on the spots. It's been a little over a month and there is no improvement. I am so self conscious about these bumps and they're now spreading down my upper thighs. I'm going to the bahamas in December and I want to be able to wear a swim suit on the beach.
Hello,
It can be molluscum contagiosum as it is the commonest cause of bumps in school age children. Molluscum contagiosum is a common, benign, self limiting viral infection of the skin. It generally affects children and typically occurs in the 2-5 age group. Treatment includes physical destruction or manual extrusion of the lesions, cryotherapy, and curettage.
Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus. It is most common in young children, in whom it is transmitted by saliva shows up on the face, typically in kids in day care. People who don't have childhood infections remain susceptible, and in adults most infections are in the genital area -- just as in your case, often on the lower abdomen, pubic area, thighs, etc. Transmission is a little uncertain.
Hello Doctor,
I'm currently a 28 year old male, and first presented with symptoms 1 - 2 years ago. I've had 1 partner, and she never presented with symptoms, and also had clean gynecological exams throughout our relationship. We both noticed a small growth at the very base of my penis; it got progressively a little bigger, but was never very large.
A few days back, I developed bumps on my penile shaft which were diagonsed by my dermatologist as molluscum. He prescribed Aldara cream 5 % and asked me to apply. I applied a full sachet at a time daily in the nights for about 20 days. I think that some of the excess aldara cream also got on to me scrotum testicle skin which turned the area red. After a few days, there was a watery discharge which further developed into small ulcers.
Over the next month I found more and more of these pimples, figured out for myself that it was Molluscum and went back to the Dr. He confirmed it, I have molluscum. Before I saw him I had pretty much popped every pimple looking thing and removed the hard white core on my own. I was and still am very freaked out by the whole thing. The Dr. put me on Aldara and the pimples that I had popped now look like open lesions from the medicine cream.
The burning went away but I still have the bumps to this day and I also developed some bumps that look like Molluscum on my arms and neck. The Aldara suppressed the bumps temporarily but they have continued to go away for a month or two at a time and then re-appear. I have seen another doctor a few times. He diagnosed the bumps as Genital Warts and he treated the bumps with acid.
I have molluscum on my genitals and received cryotherapy and aldara cream... where the cryotherapy took place it looks like the white head is coming out of the skin like its being pushed upward to fall out... it looks like i can take the white head out with tweezers... is this a good idea or really dumb?
I went to the doctor, and they gave me Aldara for HPV. This was in January. Since then, I have had the worst yeast infections, and while one bump is slowly decreasing in size (and has hardened and turned quite red in the process), none of the others are changing size at all, and I am getting more tiny little white bumps within a few inches of the initial three bumps I had. I am pretty sure it is HPV, but it seems to be geting worse. I have been tested recently for HIV, and that was negative...
Ok so i have Molluscum. The past few months I've been itching down in my groin area mostly on my shaft, but didn't know what it was. So finally i got the balls to goto the doctor and get it checked out. Well what do you know its Molluscum. Doctor prescribes me Aldara. It's been 1 week so far and it had already spread to my pubic area and a little on my happy trail. I'm trying to be calm about this but reading these forums is pissing me off.
My son had Molluscum for over a year. We tried aldara, zymaderm, we even had some burned off with acid and nothing worked.
I went to a new doc and she told me about Molluscumrx. A product she said she has used for a couple years.
Within a few days the lesions began to respond( they got a dark red), within 3 weeks they were totally gone. I wish I had known about this stuff before. It would have saved my son a lot of misery.
I hope this info helps others.
I'm really concerned about all the pain for sure.
My doctor didn't give me aldara, he gave me Nystatin for my molluscum.. which didn't really help and then gave me minocycline for the secondary infection I got from it. However, the pain is still there, far more dull, but still there. I also still have a few lesions.
I hope that other readers of this post and you, doctor, have learned something new about Molluscum here(given my dermatologist a is not a quack- I think-and hope- he is not)-namely, that there can be hair involved in molluscum. He said that he sees molluscum in children about daily, and sees it in adults about weekly.
He then gave me several options for what to do then and there.
2 weeks later, I saw another dermatologist that was recommended to me, as the bumps had spread to my inner thighs and pubic region. This derm immediately recognized it as molluscum, and upon my insistence he biopsied them as well. He prescribed Aldara cream (this is late July).
ve noticed the red painless irritation (doesnt seem to have any fluid inside) for almost 5 days or even more, is it safe to put my mind as ease and almost rule out herpes. I did apply the aldara to the anal region due to the fact i thought I had a molluscum bump there. So I know I may have been a little over zealous with the Aldara!
It is normal or possible to react in one place and not the other?
i have received cryotherapy and aldara cream for treatment of molluscum contagiosum a week ago to the date... the scabs have fallen off but there is still a lot of redness on the open skin and can still see the white bumps inside the open scab... does this mean i will have to undergo another cryotherapy again? how long does it usually take for cryotherapy to heal and is there anyway of speeding up the healing process?

Back story- I have been to 1 derm and 1 general doc. general doc couldnt tell me what this is; and derm said it's possibly hpv, and froze the area which did NOTHING at all except hurt. She then prescribed me aldara cream just incase it's warts (i've used aldara 3-4 times so far and nothing seems to be happening). The area basically flattens when stretched, and the bumps are not rough to the touch- more like smooth raised surfaces..
molluscum contagiosum, whats the best way to have it treated if you are looking to avoid the cutting and nitrogen. The urologist said it will go away on it own eventually and I did some searching and saw some stuff about tea tree oil and such?
