aldara
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?

All tests came negative except from chlamydia,gonorrhea and molluscum contagiosum. My doctor give antibiotics(dyxycycline etc) to me and aldara cream for molluscum contagiosum bumps around my genitals. What concerns me is the fact that the previous day of the test I had a last encounter with a csw and we did protected oral and protected vaginal sex.
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.
Went to the doctor in June of this year and she prescribed with Aldara because she thought it was molluscum contagiosum which I was told to put on 3 times a week. So I started using the cream and noticed no difference on my inner thighs or butt. But when I put it on my labia it turned into a sore and is terribly itching and burning now and now has a lump/bulge. No idea what it is or how I can help the burning and itching which is causing a lot of pain.
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.
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?
d like to get a culture test or something to make absolutely sure!. Medication for Molluscum is terrifying (Aldara/Imiquimod is not only expensive, but will leave me looking like a belong in the burn ward)
PLEASE tell me that you've figured this out!?, and please tell me they've gone away!?
Has anyone else had these symptoms? Any ideas?
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.
I got these types of warts and the doctor froze some, the small ones went away. I also used a compressed air sprayer can upsidown to freeze them. However, the larger one would not go away.
The doctor recommended a cream which did nothing for me.
Finally I tried applying oregano extract and the thing died in less than a week! Good old nature has all the answers...
My 2 year old has had molluscum contagiosum for 6 months now, it mostly appears on her chest and stomach, but it seems so itchy for her and to be honest 'm sick of it already.
How long is it likely to last and what kind of cream can i use to soothe the itch for her?
Hello,
It can be contact dermatitis, rash due to friction rub, folliculitis, cysts ,molluscum contagiosum(multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug) or genital warts(caused by HPV infection).
Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
I hope it helps.
ll i ended up seeing a doctor for it and she told me that it was something called Molluscum contagiosum. She said it was viral and get it from skin to skin contact. She also popped a few of them and told me to scrape the white part out and said that's the only way to get rid of them. I felt relived until i went home and got on the internet and learned how long this horrible thing would last; and also how I can't have sex.
I have MC in my inner thigh, on both sides. I'm in a monogamous relationship, that's been going on six months or so. He hasn't gotten any bumps and we have regular (unprotected) sex. I think (key word here is think) that the bumps appeared around the second month mark in our relationship. What I'm wondering is, will more bumps appear on my body and will it spread past my inner thighs? Also, is it safe to assume I got it from him?
My question is do you think that this could be an STD or some sort of irritation from the sex or natural occurance? Also I had Molluscum Contagiosum (misspelled prob) once and treated it with aldara and since I saw these areas of concern this morning I applied it to the areas just in case since I had some cream left over. Am I just over inspecting possibly? I wouldn't think that any STD would show this soon but thought I would ask regardless.
I was also a pool lifeguard, so every day I would sit in a wet bathing suit for 2 months, and during this time, the bumps basically spread all over my legs, front and back, and I also started noticing bumps on my chest and arms. I used the Aldara as prescribed, and individual bumps would go away in 1-2 weeks, but the overall infection was relentless.
Hello,
At this age, it can be due to clogged pores or molluscum contagiosum. Molluscum presents as multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug. Molluscum contagiosum is a common, benign, self limiting viral infection of the skin. It generally affects children.
I suggest you to get it examined from a dermatologist as it needs a physical evaluation and to confirm the diagnosis.
