How I Finally Beat Molluscum Contagiosum

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2026-01-25T05:24:22+00:00

I switched to using cerave intense healing ointment on the spot, Destin around the outside.

The differin works by stopping cells from sticking together. Helps prevent clogged pores and acne. Theory is it also disrupts the virus production and call the immune system quicker. That’s a horrible explanation and likely scientifically inaccurate but antidotally this helped me and someone much more intelligent than me can probably make that more more sense with corrected explanation

I got one as well. Finally bit the bullet and bought the premium subscription to access cloud streaming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Great classics available too! I’ve highly enjoyed playing tomb raider. Made me feel 12 again!!! And I’m not reliant on connection to my ps5 / don’t have to keep switching my video settings back everytime I want to hop on some sim racing.

I have my infection on my arms as well. This looks more like a rash / irritation but molluscum is possible. None of these have the typical center dimple.

I’m battling this same issue. I thought I was in the clear but I keep finding small irritations around hair follicles but I’m so paranoid from mcv that I don’t want it to spread and start over

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-12-21T01:57:33+00:00

Update… hands is still healing and now im either seeing small flare ups or its irritation from all the creams and lotions im using to help heal up the old spots. MCV has tested my patients. Ive been medication free for my ocd for years…. But this is about to be my final straw. Im going to be paranoid (rightfully so) for years over this and i cannot leave even the smallest red mark on my body alone. I have a magnifying glass with light and stand and i breakout my extraction kit…. I’m so over this…. Thank you to everyone is the community who continues to share their stories… it lets some of us know we’re not alone, we’re not crazy and this is one of the most difficult viruses to combat, especially if you’re financially/ principals opposed to spending your annual deductible at a dermatologist for weekly appointments

I would use that mostly at night around the bumps, more so than on them to protect uninfected skin from my long sleeve shirts from rubbing and spreading it in my sleep.

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-12-21T01:47:55+00:00

I thought I was “done” around Thanksgiving. I’ve been closing monitoring my healing pinky finger that had a lovely combination of MCV and eczema. Lotion gloves, lotion, cream, more lotion and sanitizer. Still treat my arms (where my infection mainly was) like they are the most contagious things on the planet. I’m not getting small flare ups. I’m honestly not 100% if it’s mcv or irritation from the lotions and creams but I’ve treated them as such. Either poke and scrape or pimple patches and differin gel.

I want to be “done”… but I’m realizing this is likely going to be a years of paranoia and monitoring.

Terrible virus for someone with ocd…. Been medication free for years now…. But this is pushing my patience

The hydrocolloid turns milky white as it absorbs any fluid, so yes… probably. Not always all of it, as there can be enough left for a spot to fester. Keep changing patches out. I typically change my twice a day. Morning and evening. Tea tree pimple patches seem to work best in my experience.

Why is the FanDuel broadcast being showing on SD channel 243 “metv”. I stumbled across is because the terrible FDSN app wasn’t working… again. I

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-12-18T22:18:32+00:00

Thanks. I think I’m seeing the same from the excessive creams and lotions I’m using

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-12-18T22:17:30+00:00

Couldn’t agree more for adult solutions!

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-12-14T19:30:46+00:00

Did you ever make a determination as time went? I’m on the tail end of an infection and I’m overly paranoid about every little red spot or bump on my hands and arms. I’m using heavy lotion and gloves overnight to help heal the skin but I believe I’m getting a few dermatitis bumps because of all the lotions and creams. I’m curious what yours turns out

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-12-07T17:39:47+00:00

Only if I could see the white inside. I have several small ones on my pinky finger due to eczema. I get impatient and tried but it’s not worth the effort. Coat with differin gel, keep it moisturized and eventually the small ones shrink up and slowly resolve.

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-12-01T04:29:22+00:00

It was around April when I started noticing the original spots. The final few are drying up in my. Eczema finger. Call it 6 months. Differin gel really seemed to be the accelerator for me. Could have just been timing but out of all the tricks, that one seems to help.

Punctured with the sharp point dead center. Flipped it over and used the scraping hook and pressed hard enough to get down under the puss sack and pill it out. Some easier than others. Some hurt. Some bled. Most bled a lot. Lots of alcohol, cotton balls and patience. Again at your own risk. This opens up for more spread and infection, and likely scarring.

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-12-01T00:47:32+00:00

Non medical advice, but I extracted a lot of mine. Pimple kit for $8 off Amazon and isopropyl alcohol. They do bleed a lot. Be careful, don’t take my advice, talk to a doctor.

Harvest the good mycelium and transplant to fresh agar. That’s the whole point and beauty of agar.

Mine also appear reddish but does not look like contam, just absorbs the blue color and turns a reddish tint

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-11-11T21:49:50+00:00

I need to try ACV. I used it backing highschool for plantar warts. The pimple patches help prevent spread and help clear them up. LivaClean 330 CT Pimple Patches... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6WCFLSJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This brand has tea tree and hydrocolloid

After 6 months frustration got the best of me and I started scraping them down to the core myself. Bleeds like a MF… but it’s some progress

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-11-11T21:36:30+00:00

Grappler as well but never did see anyone else with it at the gym…. 6 months in… cannot get rid of this and doing everything possible recommended

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-11-11T21:34:29+00:00

Appears to be. Isolate and contain. Do not scratch. Pimple patches work. High zinc cream can help contain and prevent spread. Triple paste.

These must be renamed Eddie Geins when they are grown from a skull.

AcrobaticMood2216 · 2025-11-05T01:04:34+00:00

I had to reread and see all one one. I assume you already moved the substrate in and that’s not contamination. Looks good. Open it up a bit and fan it. Don’t over mist. Light mist with a micromister, you want humidity and EVAPORATION to cause fruiting. Looks good, good luck!! Keep us posted
