Molluscum on genitals

Posted , 3 users are following.

I believe I contracted MC at a public pool and sauna about 4 weeks ago. I went to the doctor and he said it looked like MC and to have it checked by a gyno or dermatologist. The wait list for both of those appointments is 1 year. I have been treating it with tea tree oil, ACV and coconut oil. Some of the small, flat bumps have turned into larger, flat bumps. The bumps around my butt are still small and flat. They both turn white with ACV.

Does it look like it is starting to resemble HPV instead of MC? Any recommendations? imageimage

    hey dear, to me it resembles hpv more than mc. the color, the shape - it does look like hpv to me. make sure to get a biopsy, that's the only way to find it out. once you know what it is, you can treat it in the right way. it's nothing life threating so keep calm and get you treatment/ medication. 😃

      That' s what I was thinking. The other bumps around my anus look like MC, but these have changed into a different shape. Thank you!

      I agree with Lyn it look like warts. Molluscs can also be treated, there are even some home remedies you could try

      Thanks. I have been doing ACV, Tea Tree Oil and Coconut oil. Not sure what else to try. I'm frustrated because appointments to see a doctor about treatment is taking very long. I don't want it to get worse or spread.

      there are home remedies for both, more or less effective, can you try any online derm/doc to get proper answers?
