Hi. I recently went to the STD clinic and got tested. Tests came out fine, but I did have at least one molluscum that he froze off with liquid nitrogen, which stung, and took about two weeks to fully heal. I think I may now have more... does anyone have advice for getting rid of the others that have come up since then?

I am recently suffering with molloscum right now. They are really small not big enough to burn off. I got them because my ex cheated on me with some girl in late december. Mine started showing up in early february. I heard of a lot of things to get rid of them. My ex keeps putting isopr. alcohol on them and it is helping him. I went to my gyn and she proscribed me aldera cream. I've only been on it for a week and i dont notice any changes. She also told me it was ok to shave but i dont know about it. I have been shaving but it seems like it is spreading them. I'm not sure. I've been cleaning with alcohol every night. I also thought i was getting one on my thigh and i read somewhere that putting clear nail polish on it would keep it from spreading. I tried it and that one seemed to go away. I am hesitant to put it on my genital region though. I read somewhere that popping them would help them heal faster. I popped 2 of them and they bled really bad and it doesnt seem to be helping them go away any faster. I'm not sure what to do. Thats everything i have tried. I am very confused on which are normal bumps and which are molloscum or ingrown hairs/pimples... etc... I would like to keep in contact with you and see what you try and what works for you. I heard that the over the counter wart removers could cause permanent scarring. I would see a doctor and ask them. Let me know what you find out, it could be very useful for me. I do know some stuff about this virus though, so if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask.

That sucks that the Aldara isn't working well for you Musicgirl. Sometime during my research on Molluscum when I had it I read that Acne medicine has been shown to help...like the zit cream you can buy at the store. I'm not sure if it is true or not, but I read it somewhere. The aldara worked great for me.
