Is this Molloscum?

Hello all,

This small bump appeared in my pubic region about 3-4 days ago, at first I just assumed it was an ingrown hair as I trim with small scissors and cut some hairs really short/completely down

There is no irritation, swelling, inflamation, or itching 

To add, I was diagnosed with HPV warts about 3 months ago and treated, but this spot has appeared about 1-2 inches up from where the 4-5 warts I had treated were. This doesn't look like a wart though, I'm considering leaving it for a few days to see if it changes/disappears at all, if not I'll visit my doctor to get it checked as I don't want to leave it too long incase it may spread rolleyes

Thanks!

    It does look like molloscum as it has an outwardly domed head and a neat border with no redness of the skin around it.

    Your plan is a good one, i'd do just that.

    Good luck

      Thanks for the reply, I may be imagining but it looks like it has increased in size very very slightly

      I'm going to call my sexual health clinic in the morning and hopefully get an appointment on the same day as I am showing symptoms of something they may prioritise

      I'll update this when I find out
