I found it last year, in March...Ive seen the dermatologist dozens of times for curretage. The entire story is long. I had about 70-100 bumps in the pubic area, spreading down. 3 around belly button. Finally went to the derm...they curretaged them all off over 3 months. Went back with them on my thighs and 2 on my wrist, new doc said stop being paranoid. I got them removed anyways. After about 1 and a half months clear, I notice more on my thighs, go in, the original doc curetted them said I should be done. About 2 or 3 months later, I get one on my wrist. Then I find little tiny pink bumps on my testicles, go in and get them tested, and all came back as molluscum. I had a breakdown. But it wasn't over, got those removed, they found 5 between my butt cheeks as well. About another month goes by and I shave my beard to find them under and around my mouth, go in get them tested, comes back positive. I spent the next 3 months getting facial molluscum removed. I tried a new doc who said, here take a sure the, do it yourself. So I've been removing anything in my beard that looks like it. So, fast forward another 3 months (1 year anniversary) and I find 5 in my pubes last night. After nearly 6-9months without any there. They were SO UNBELIEVABLY small. I never would have saw them if I didnt use a flashlight. I dont know what to do, Im losing it. I met my girlfriend right as I was diagnosed a year ago. She is still with me and we do everything to be safe, even if nothing is there, but there's been times we did stuff when we didn't know. She doesn't have any I think, but she hasn't checked with a light. I don't even want to know. I'm so dead inside, sometimes I just feel like I don't want to do this anymore.. I dont want to live with it..I don't mean it, but...what do I do. Will this ever end? Please somebody help me. There's all these stories online but you never see the person come back and say, "Oh yeah, after 5 years it finally went away." Please somebody help. Somebody give me hope...please. I beg you.

    When i said "take a sure the." I meant "take a currete." She gave me a currette. There is also a lot more going on in my life, I'm trying to ween off medicine.

    Hi Andy, 

    ?I know how you feel.  I've been dealing with this over 4 months now.  I went to Dr. and he did cryotherapy on my bumps.  It didn't work.  Scabbed but MCs (Molluscum Contagiosum) didn't go away.  after couple weeks, it re-appeared.  I didn't find out about Apple Cider Vinegar until last month.  It worked good on these bumps.  However, it didn't stop them from spreading.  After treated bumps scabbed, I started seeing more tiny bumps showed up.  I bought myself a magnifying glass with led lights to help seeing them better.  From what Martin on other post mentioned that masturbating would help spreading.  I think I spread them by that way.  Anyway, you should try the cotton soaked ACV method.  Hope this help!

      Hi, is there any way we can get in contact and help another through this? I just want to know how someone is doing with it and when they..or we can beat it. And how long it takes. If you wouldn't mind, contacting me and we can chat over private messages or something? There's all these people who post that they have it, but disappear and you never find out if they beat it. So I want to send this message to as many people as possible. Please let me know if your willing to talk with me. I'm so utterly scared. Thank you..

    Hi. I’m 16 years old and I got diagnosed with molluscum last year, right around this time actually, march-April. But before I self diagnosed myself because I tend to be a paranoid person, and I was rigjt. I went to the doctor and they prescribed me with medicine that did not help at all. But then I got apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil... these items work like magic.. my molluscum was gone in 4 months! There was scarring but it’s faded now. I only had it on my left arm and my belly and it did keep spreading, but the trick is, is to find it super early and quickly treat it. Instead of going to the doctor next time buy some ACV and tea tree oil and put it on a cotton ball for an hour and let it soak in. It helped me so much and it healed quickly because I started used this 2 and a half months in, so it took me basically 1 and a half months to heal completely! I understand how you feel, I was always very self conscious but don’t worry, stay positive and it’ll go away before you know it! Best of luck

      Thank you. I've just tried for so long. Thousands of dollars. I finally thought it was gone. I've seen people say it's lasted 7 years. I just want to be able to get ahold of these people and find out what happened! Sometimes I just feel like just ending it..

      Hi Kassandra, 

      ?I'm also doing ACV and it works.  How long did you tape the cotton soaked with ACV?  Do you that in the morning as well?  How many MC did you have?  Do you know what MC looks like in the super early stage?  I keep find more popped up.  I found a white pin size dot not a raised bump but not sure if it was MC.
