Molluscum? Or Something Else? Posted: 10-27-04 03:36am
I'm a little freaked out because i'm 20
years old and have these pimple like
things in my genital area and pubic area;
although they do not pop like pimples
instead some solid core comes out and then
they bleed alot. I'm not sexually
active but have been awhile ago in the
past with 2 girlfriends only (and never
random); I never noticed any of these
pimple like things on them. I've done
extensive research and pretty much came to
the conclusion that its probably molluscum
I even can see a tiny (very tiny) dimple
on most of them as they are not that big.
I've had this for about 6 months now and
had gotten rid of most of them by popping
out the center but now they are back again
full force. I have the liquid nitrogen
stuff for freezing warts as well as
hydrocortizone and topical acne treatments
will any of these work maybe? Or should
I wait it out? I don't want to freak my
mom out by asking her to send me to the
doctor because she'll think std and i'd
prefer it to be private, I know its not
hpv or herpes or any of those as I have
been very carefull sexually and the
symptoms are nothing similar to those.
I'm thinking I may have gotten molluscum
from my roomate last semester who was very
sexually active as we would share towels
at times unintentionally, or god only
knows how, I guess if children can get it
outside of sex I may have as well. Any
suggestions would help.

Ummm...Since they are in such an
important, sensitive area, I wouldn't
suggest putting anything on them without
talking to a doctor first. Especially not
the freeze-off stuff (you wouldn't want to
freeze off a ball or something, would
you?). Ask your mom to get you an
appointment with a doctor, and tell her
it's because your ear hurts or something.
She can tell them it's for an ear
infection, and then when you get in there
tell them the real reason you're there.
