i got them too. They itch once in a
while and also concerns me but I went to
get my yearly check up and my Dr. Didn't
say anything abou them. I don't think
they are bad!

I had 2 small painless white bumps on my
inner thigh near my vagina. I was quite
worried about stds and finally went to the
doctor.
And it was something id never heard of.
This is from planned parenthood:
molluscum contagiosum
(mo lus kum con tay gee oh sum)
hundreds of thousands of cases of the
virus molluscum contagiosum are diagnosed
every year. It is often transmitted by
nonsexual, intimate contact.
Common symptoms — when they occur:
small, pinkish white, waxy, round, polyp
like growths in the genital area or on the
thighs. There is often a tiny depression
in the middle of the growth. Symptoms
usually appear between two and 12 weeks
after infection — but it can take
years.
How molluscum contagiosum is spread:
vaginal, anal, and oral intercourse, as
well as nonsexual, intimate contact.
Children may become infected through
casual contact. In such cases, growths
may appear on other parts of the body,
especially the abdomen.
Treatment: growths may be removed with
chemicals, electrical current, or
freezing.
Protection: condoms reduce the risk of
molluscum contagiosum, but the virus may
"shed" beyond the area covered or
protected by condoms.
I thought I was knowledgeable about sti's
but id never heard of this. I got one
bump removed with acid and it was gone in
2 days.. The other dissapeared on its own
a couple of weeks after I noticed it. I
havent had any more since and it has been
about 7 months.
Not sure if this helped but good luck!
