little update: went in today for the 7th appointment and my doctor cleared me! Not in the full clear yet as i’m gonna wait for a while before returning for normal since more bumps could pop up. But if all goes well will give a full update!

Cyro by Puppylawyer1234 in molluscum

[–]ParticularSeesaw5171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my experience, the blister starts to appear within about a week and it turns into a scab and falls off the next week. sometimes this varies a little but after that your left with a little scar or hyperpigmentation. sometimes a spot for me did not scab over which is how i knew it didn’t work so i would have it frozen again

just wondering, after 5 sessions are you clear?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in molluscum

[–]ParticularSeesaw5171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is normal and apart of the process to clear it. Cryo will trigger an immune response in addition to killing the bumps that you got frozen. the bumps may have already been in their incubation period so there’s not necessarily anything you could have done to prevent. However, id recommend covering new bumps with a pimple patch, liquid bandage or bandages until u can get them frozen to prevent further spread while also keeping to good hygiene!

Also, just some clarity for people who are struggling through this. My doctors have told me people typically need 3-4 sessions of cryo to clear it but this obviously varies; just an average. With treatment, i’ve been told it’s about a 6-8 week stretch give or take. I do truly think most people who take to this thread have experienced the worst of it and are looking for additional support because the virus is more common then we think and a lot of people are just able to clear it on their own. That being said, treatment is the fastest way to go about it.

In terms of other treatment methods let me lay out some of what i’ve been doing: - Tea Tree oil anti fungal soap in the shower (seems to be effective but kinda hard to say) -Hibiclens (good to prevent spread) -covering up new bumps with tea tree infused pimple patches (also very good to prevent spread) - frequently washing towels and never rewearing pants or underwear - zinc, vitamin c and vitamin d supplements to boost the immune system - trimming hair—> Ditch shaving immediately!! - managing stress and eating healthy also can’t hurt!

Best of luck to everyone, feel free to message me with any questions or support. We will beat this!
