    I’m not a doc and the pic is not to clear but if you zoom in are those white dots in the centre, if so it could possibly be. I had if for a year. Just to be safe, stop shaving wash your hand and pat the area dry with a different towel to stop the spread. But again im not sure.

    Looks like MC. It's very contagious. I used to Apple Cider Vinegar to treat those bumps.

      Yeah, i had 2 sessions of cryotherapy but it didn't go away. Found this forum and others talked about ACV so i did it. I was so happy and regret it that i didn't do it sooner.

    I have been treating MC bumps with ACV soaked in cotton and applying bandage over it, before sleeping, from past 10 days.

    1. Some turn black and fall-off, post which i apply metrogyl having iodine. Is this fine?

    2. Some are red bump with black top. I keep applying ACV until it turns black and then follow #1. Is this right way?

    3. To all others, i apply ACV. I dont prick, but before applying ACV i use alcohol to clean the bumps and surrounding. This takes to #2 and then #1.

    I see 4 new ones, which i rigorously treat using above strategies. I got this after reading posts from anrique. Thanks to him and others for this effective home remedy.

    Should i include salt water/baking soda bath?

    Pls help with your suggestion of dealing with this virus.
