Okay so i got diagnosed with molluscum 2 1/2 weeks ago, ive had it since mid march, so 2 months. i seen a derm last week, he treated each bump, by curettage.. At this point i had about 10 bumps in total, all on the right side of my groin region, the next day i noticed 2 bumps on the otherside of my pelvis, went to the doctor again, and he froze them on the spot. The 10 that were treated by curetage all bled heavily, turned black and then scabbed. However it looks like now, a week after treatment 4 out of the 10 are growing back after they scabbed, and are the exact same bumps. i see white in the middle, but i cant tell. they are so small. is this possible? what do i have to do to get these out for good? im in good shape, exercise 5 days a week for the past 3 years. i eat somehwat healthy, but i do smoke cigs. ive been taking vitamin c, vitamin e, garlic extract and beta carotene pills everyday for the past week.

    Anthony I had the same problem ,, number 1 it's not your health those damn things spread like crazy ,, you gotta keep going to your doctor over and over again till there all gone ,, and another important thing try to always keep it clean down there and NEVER pop them NEVER,, doing so is like unleashing a hoard of babies ,,, all you have to do is make an appointment with your doctor and if more come up or if the same ones he's treated returned ,, tell the doctor and go again ,, I had to go to the doctor and return to him 5 times to get those things off ,,, when u see a baby one come up make a appointment and tell them the situation and you wont wait so long to see the doctor and don't bother wasting money on the over the counter stuff just keep a close eye and when any come up make appointment immediately don't wait and if u do this u be fine

      Thanks Paul. Yeah that's what I've been doing been there 3 times already. Went yesterday, and I had two on my face I thought were pimples the derm said it was mc and cut them. Going to go back again Monday and pretty much every week, I dont know which are pimples and which are MC, they look so damn alike.. how long did it take you to be cured, using this approach. I'm really hoping the end is near. Thank you
