Hi Guys,

I have been freaking out about this.

I found a few lumps in my genital area and they seem to have multiplied. These are not painful and went to GP initially and he said that it doesn't look anything sexually transmitted however it does look pretty irregular so thought I would see if anyone on here could give me some direction. They may appear red as I accidentally picked at them.

I have not had sex since October which was with a condom and have not noticed these since mid March!

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear lewis,

    I'm pretty sure you've got molluscum contagiosum, a viral STD. Ideally, you should get an STD screen in a sexual health clinic or else order a test kit online if you live in the UK.

    You can purchase molluscum treatment either from your local pharmacist (Boots, Lloyds, Superdrug) or online. Ask for 5% potassium hydroxide.

    This is probably molluscum contagiosum- my detailed response is awaiting moderation.

    Rgds,

      Hi Adhari

      thanks for responding. i've never heard of that, is it an STI?

      thanks

      Yes it is- see my earlier post. That's why it's affected your genitals. More information on Dermnet NZ.
