    sorry to hear you've been getting so many different responses from doctors. that must be really frustrating. they do look like MC... but I'm not a doctor so I couldn't diagnose. but One thing I will say is stop shaving that area completely and maybe use a separate towel to dry that area after washing.

    These look very much like mollescum but like the other poster said, only a doctor can diagnose. You should make an appointment to see a dermatologist or a sexual health provider. In my experience, they are much more familiar with treating and diagnosing mollescum than your average primary care physician.
