Hi all,
This has started to worry me. After shaving I noticed them but they've grown. Unprotected sex over summer (good wakeup call to grow up!). I am going to get it checked on Monday but thought would ask here in case anybody has pointers.

All tests showed negative and they stated it may be molluscum but actually looks like just pimples. They gave me wartec to use the following week if they still existed which they did. I feel like theyve sizzled my skin and hopefully after this blitz and burn period, things move onwards and upwards now???
It looks and is sore so any tips be great:/

its become quite confidence draining. The sight of that is grim and my only ray of happiness is that skin does regenerate quite quickly with a healthy routine.

it is quite sore but only the open wounds (as expected). I might try a simple salt water bath each night and just play it simple as can be easy to overdoo things! once scars and scabs formed will then look to hydrate but at the moment maybe just let them 'dry out' hey.
Thanks for your reply! Quite an experience this....great that I dont possess anything serious but it feels like I actually do!!
