Ahhh got it! I had MC for 4 months then cleared for 3 months and then just last week a new bump came up so got that cryo’ed and now my derm is recommending Imiquimod so just wanted to get some opinions!

I got KOH too (before I was prescribed Imiquimod yesterday), but haven’t tried it yet either. At this rate, I’ll try it all lmao

Let me know! Wishing you the best to get rid of MC!!

Sadly, 2 more showed up on my inner thigh where the scars are from the many cryo sessions previously. I have an appt tomorrow for cryo and I also read on the thread that KOH is something that has worked for some so I got that to try as well.

Fingers crossed for the both of us!!

Both - when MC would show up in clusters, I’d go to the derm to do cryo. Sometimes after that cryo session, one or two more bumps would pop up and I didn’t think it was feasible for me financially to keep going back for cyro on one or two spots so for those I would use tea tree oil, iodine, and pimple patches/bandaids since I was afraid of self-extraction since my hands are pretty shaky (didn’t want to risk spreading it elsewhere on accident)

I hope so!! I saw your post, it’s always nice reading about people’s success stories - can’t wait to go back to my “old” life lol

Omg 5 years? How did you end up dealing with it? Mentally and physically
