Does this look like molluscum?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi,
I just noticed this little bump yesterday evening. I wasn't sure if it was just a pimple or not, so I tried squeezing it and it got all red with no fluid coming out. I genuinely can't remember if it was there or not prior, but it's giving me anxiety because I had bumps of molluscum removed back in July and nothing ever happened again after many follow ups with my dermatologist. In some ways, it doesn't seem like the same, but it also seems like the same. I did just trim my pubic hair last night, so maybe it's just something because of that, but it's reacting in a similar way the other molluscum did when I tried to squeeze it. It took like two months for my skin to heal after removal before and I really don't want to have to go through it again, so I thought maybe posting pictures here could help.
Please respond asap if you can so I can try to make a removal appointment and to help my anxiety I'm feeling.

I ended up going to the dermatologist since there was an opening today, and she advised me that she believed it was a Condyloma spot / gential wart. She opted to freeze it via cryotheraphy, so that's what we did. Hopefully all will resolve with this.

thanks for the update, was going to say it could be to do with shaving and to see if it calms down.

Yeah, I mentioned that I had trimmed down there to her as well, and she made it seem like it was Condyloma and not molluscum. I had definitely inflamed the spot by squeezing it, so it may have made it harder to tell. I just know it sorta made me feel anxious in general which is why I wanted to do something about it ASAP. Hopefully she was right about and that it heals in a week or two since it's a small spot.
