    hey brian i have some theories on whats going on, but without pictures and more information i cant really help. feel free to message me. something spreading like that makes me think mallascum contagiosum. but without pictures its just a guess, mallascum spreads like poison ivy.

      mallescum does not reoccur once all the bumps are gone unless you had sex with that person again or someone else whose infected, you can get it again. herpes sores do not have to be painful, they can be tender to no pain. but id say theyre usually at least tender to painful/noticeable. herpes can take 2-3 weeks from beginning to end. i think a month or more is a little excessive. further you say "it doesnt really burn" and "hardly itches" makes me think it at least burns and itches a little? thats a big problem.

      What i had didnt have any pain or itchiness. I literally felt nothing. U can only look at the bumps but i don't feel any discomfort. So i was wondering how can i get molluscum, assuming it was, again. And no i didnt have sex with any1 since the first time i got it. So my only rationale behind getting it again is that i touched it the first time i got it then touched my penis again. Either that or getting a pimple on my penis bcz of masturbating? But the latter doesn't sound logical bcz a pimple doesnt last a month

      hey john, like i said. without a picture, i can only play a guessing game from what youre telling me. looking at it, i can have a better idea of whats going on with you and can quickly rule some things out for you. feel free to message me. if youd like.

    a picture would be helpful. it could be an allergic reaction, genital warts, herpes, cysts, or molluscum. a doctor is the best person to decide which.
