Hey

I was just wondering what these bumps are in my genital area. I am not sure whether they are molluscum contagiosum or just shaving bumps (ingrown hair).

Please can you help me!!!!

    this is definitely not ingrown hair. this looks like mallascum contagiosum. im pretty confident on that. i have to say though. i work as a nurse in a clinic. and ive never seen a case of MC of this amount. how long have they been there? this couldnt have happened over night.

      1 month ago when i shaved it was alright, however when i shaved again i noticed it and some did bleach out due to the shave.

      Do you think it could be folliculitis, because Molloscus should have dimples and i dont see any

      nope im very sure this isnt folliculitis and im very sure its MC. the dimples you speak about are usually a tell-tale sign of MC, but they are not the be-all and end-all to MC characteristics.

      im telling you to trust me on this one and go to a doctor. any person youve had sexual contact with in the last month is also at a high risk.

      message me if you need any more help. i respond faster there.
