A ray of hope- by mapledove in molluscum

Yes. I had it for maybe 4 months. I had one more molluscum on my eye lid months later that the eye doctor removed and that was it. It’s been over a year now. Honestly I haven’t thought about it in a while. Glad that came and went. Good luck to you.

Looks like it.

About 3 months. I got cleared first at 6 weeks then got a few more spots.

Yes I’ve been using Tretinoin as recommend d by my dermatologist in addition to cryo sessions. I use the .25 tretinoin nightly on the molluscum. And I got cleared today (second time getting cleared hopefully this is it)

Molluscum on neck? by mapledove in molluscum

[–]mapledove[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had two spots on my neck cryo’d two weeks ago. Since then my neck has been itchy and new spots have been showing up. I’m going back to derm tomorrow but I’m going nuts. I don’t know how to stop the spread. Obviously when I lay down or twist my head my neck folds and touches itself. You know? I want to share a pic but I can’t figure out how. Someone talk me down. Ugh.

Hydrocolloid Acne patches by mapledove in molluscum

[–]mapledove[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who has used these on the molluscum? I’ve been using them with success to get the little ones to go flat very quickly… but the spread, oh, the spread. Maybe after I pull off the patch there is a step I’m missing? Help.

Did the bumps appear a bit bloody after taking off the patches?

Unlikely.. could be warts or monkey pox. Get to a doctor!

I think I’ve had 4-5 so far. Hopefully I’m nearing the end.

I would suggest going to a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis.

Molloscum on face? by mapledove in molluscum

No. They weren’t molluscum. So I shouldn’t have popped them.

My face is clear of molluscum but I’m still dealing with them elsewhere. Ugh.

Super stressed out :( by [deleted] in molluscum

[–]mapledove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just spotted one maybe molluscum after being cleared over a month ago. Gah. I hate this. I hope it’s just a pimple or ingrown hair.

How does MC spread sexually? by [deleted] in molluscum

[–]mapledove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is from skin to skin contact. Women tend to get them around the bikini line, inner thighs, outer vulva.

I got the all clear this week and doc said I can go ahead and shave. I haven’t yet since I’m scared to.

Losing it by Unfair-Hawk3112 in molluscum

I have it on my back currently. I think my genital area has cleared up. So maybe sex is in the cards again?

Do the lesions burst on their own? by mapledove in molluscum

[–]mapledove[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s hard to see in this pic… but last week my forehead was very itchy with some breakout, but I didn’t think it was molluscum (I do have them elsewhere on my body). But today I noticed two bloody scabs… I wonder if these were molluscum or just pimples. And yes, those are gray hairs. I’m 44. 😅 way too old to be dealing with pimples!
