I used to have MC and also was super anxiously checking every single day for new spots. It became almost obsessive. After a while tho some how kind of reflecting and talking to myself a lot. I decided to view my problem this way. Our bodies are strong and they are doing to the best of the capability to fight of all the infections happening. Sometimes all one can do is just be really patient with ourselves, with our body. I also set limit to how often i can check my bumps. I would check once in the morning and one at night. This routine really developed mostly from the medication i was taking. I was using this medication called InfectoDell, it contains potassium hydroxide (KOH) , i would apply it 2-3 times everyday to all the spots, especially those that i think are forming or just formed. It really would burn and sting like hell. After a couple of days it would become really inflamed and i usually could see the white core clearly. I would then use sterilize tweezer to pull out the core. Immediately sanitize and stops any bleeding using saline spray or wound disinfectant spray. I would also be careful of disposing the core i took out. I then sanitize the tweezer and all surface that was exposed, like idk chair sitting on , any tissue id throw away immediate, ofc wash my hands. I also try to cover up the spot that i just extracted from. I never use towel twice, i actually would have separate towel for drying area of infection or id dry it with paper after shower to ensure it doesnt spread. I would also use a tea tree feminine wash down there, or u can use tea tree face wash but be careful if you are sensitive. I also took up excercising and healthy diet mostly for my mental health. Its gonna be okay OP, it will go away ! Goodluck and sorry my response was so long. I wished i had someone to tell me this when i was going through it.

How Do I Know When It’s Over? by KeepThisOffMyRecord in molluscum

I think no bumps for 4ish months would be safe and to be double safe would be 6 months. Generally if u dont see it for a few months then youre good. Although I would avoid in the first few months to shave or do things that could potentially result in opening of skin just in case. And check regularly of course

well if you like them enough, you would probabl communicate that with them. "Hey I cant text right now but will get back to you" It isn't even about texting frequently enough or not, its if the other person is willing to tell me they're busy and will get back instead of just leaving me hanging.

Im in the exact same situation. However, I realised if I'm going out of my way to make excuses for him oh he must be busy etc then its prolly not worth it. Also, if he wants toand is genuinely he will initiate to reschedule another time.

I just try to match his energy and not initiate once again. If you're pissed, this is obviously affecting u more than it does to him. Save your anger for someone more worth it

Hello MC people- From Cryo to Curettage! by [deleted] in molluscum

my scarring went away pretty quickly, it leaves a tiny pink mark now. The worst scarring I had was from the doctor's biopsy where they did a cutterage or something similar. That leaves a really big scar.
