What the heck is this? Molluscum? (pic included)

[anon39]

I had sex with a girl and about a week later I noticed these 'pimples' on the base of my ***** and very lower abdomen. There are a few on the underside of my shaft as well. My last sex before her was with my GF about 4 months previously.

They are a bit hard to the touch, and I've taken a very detailed photo with my digital camera and they seem to have a round pearly center. Despite the size of the pics, they are NOT big. They are about the size of a grain of sand or two. They are painless and do not itch.

I've visited three docs and none know what it is. A few guessed warts or molluscum, but did not diagnose. They did not use a colposcope and probably didn't see the amount of detail I've shown in this picture. I finally have a dermatologist appointment but that's a bit aways. Anyone care to weigh in?

I don't know if this is a weird case of herpes (only considering it because the incubation period makes sense), warts, or molluscum.

Could be!

I'm spreading the word:

ALOE VERA GEL!!!

I have had molluscum since early September or late August. I may not have it anymore. I first used a product called Molluscuderm (about $60 a bottle, of which I needed two), which does not seem to be sold anymore (I don't know what happend to their company's website, Virabiotics). The product did work, it seems, and my molluscum went away either early or mid-December. About two weeks ago in April, I noticed a few small bumps on my lower stomach area, near my genitals. I cannot be sure if this was molluscum returning or not, but if I had to guess, it was. I researched a bit further and came across a post on Amazon about using Aloe Vera gel (the company is Lily of the Desert). Apparently, it rid someone's or their child's molluscum in two weeks. The next day, I went to Whole Foods and picked this product up. It is a fairly huge bottle for under $7. I shook the bottle, scooped up about a teaspoon of the stuff and rubbed it into every little papule. Did it twice a day for two weeks. Now they are all gone. This method may not work for everyone, but it seems to have worked for me. And it is extremely cheap, comfortable and the product is completely natural and does leave a smell. There is a juice version and a gel version; get the gel version. Lily of the Desert's aloe vera gel is organic and pure aloe vera, so I think it would not be quite the same if you applied an aloe vera moisturizer, cream or the like. Aloe vera is also known to be anti-viral, so it makes sense that it may work. Before you try anything, try this!

Definitely looks like it. Ignore the tard about Aloe Vera gel, she probably got lucky. I had an aloe vera plant and it did nothing. Check out rebuilder's $300 kit at molluscum.com. I had it for 6 months and this is what finally got rid of it. The electrical device doesn't hurt at all. I used Zymaderm and it works but it doesn't stop it from spreading.

The dermatologist should be able to tell. Do they come to a head and break open? That's herpes...then they go away. You can get a blood test for herpes 2 to rule it out. The other two don't go away and you need treatment by the dermatologist.

[anon39]

They don't come to a head and open/blister. They've been exactly the same for two weeks. That's why I doubt it's herpes and think it's molluscum.

Is it possible to get it from a public toilet seat? If I got it sexually, was it most likely from that girl two weeks ago or my GF from 4 months ago?


As for the 300$ rebuilder kit; that's too much money to "try" something that may or may not work.

How often do molluscum spread? I've had mine for two weeks now and havent noticed more.

Those are almost definitely MCV.

Start reading the big long thread.

Aloe Vera won't work. That person probably just got lucky, and their immune response coincided with the aloe.

The SilverCure stuff doesn't work either, but those guys are notorious for fake testimonial posts.

It is possible for MCV to surface after a week, or after 4 months. It's usually 6-8 weeks, but that's only "usual".

Spreading depends on the person. A new lesion can incubate for weeks before it becomes visible.

Go see a dermatologist. Freezing helps, Aldara usually helps. If you're shaving that skin, STOP. Extra-sanitary practices help.

If you're taking votes, I'll vote for the girl two weeks ago.

That's Molloscum.
Go get them frozen.
Herpes is itchy/painful.
It might not have been either of the two girls. It's possible w/ the toilet seat but since you have it on your abdomen it's more likely from a towel, or your own hands/under fingernails & itching. Do you play any sports with gloves?
More likely one of the two girls though, I also vote for the 2 weeks-ago girl, even though I would wonder if it needs a longer incubation period than that... I am skeptical that all the "knowledge" thats posted is really true and/or there are new strains of it that have new incubation times. It certainly seems like more people have Mollosum than ever before.

Well I've turned my genital region into a damned polka dot fest. I'm having an extremely difficult time telling molluscum apart from fordyce spots or sebaceous glands. I think actually removed a sebaceous gland by mistake instead of molluscum.

*****. My **** looks terrible.


I've also started aldara and cimetidine, and a few of the molluscum (20%?) are turning red. No itching or pain and I've been on it over a week.


And of course as fate would have it, I'm having a lot of girls interested in me while I have this POS virus.

You dont want to just go have them liquid nitrogen frozen at the doc? Very simple and relatively painless.
