Hello everyone who previously posted a molloscum question or has had/have molloscum. I have it right now and am in the process of getting rid of it as you may have read in previous posts. I want to keep this thread open for all of us to post what we are doing and how we are treating it and our results. I know some people have it for a long time and i want to keep track of everyone's symptoms and progression. Maybe it will help all of us get over this, and hopefully quicker than we would normally. So please post your molloscum stats for us to share and get through together.

Thanks! And good luck everyone.

Right now I have about 4 and am on Aldera cream. I popped 2 of them and left 2 alone. We will see what happens. I am also using alcohol on the area every night.

Right now I have 2 and my b/f just broke out with his first 2 a week or so ago. One is swelling up and becoming red, just like the other 2 that I had right before they went away on their own. The other is a teeny tiny thing, not even big enough to count at this point.
I'm using and trying different things. I have found that Compound W seems to dry them out better but also use alcohol and tee tree oil. I have epsom's salt that I use while taking a bath. I tried to pop the larger one but worried that it would spread and/or scar so I just left it alone.

OK, well i now have 6 and one that im not sure what it is. The ones i popped are still there and the ones that i left alone seem to be going away. Someone told me to pop them and I did. But word of advise "Do NOT pop them!" If someone tells you to dont listen to them. They just got worse and now they are really noticable. I hate these things and I am sooo frustrated

What is this compound W thing you are talking about? Was it pescribed to you?

i looked up info on compound w. Does it burn? Did you put it near your vagina at all?

Compound W is an OTC wart medicine. I only have 2 bumps, one on each thigh....not close enough to my do-dah to matter what I put on them. It didn't burn me but it did my b/f since his is closer to his more sensitive parts. Both of ours seem to be drying up. I have probably had these breaking out on me for about 2 1/2-3years and really never thought twice about it until this Jan. If I'm not mistaken I believe my very first ones were on my right knee.......very odd. Anyhow, good luck getting rid of these things. I feel so dirty and embarassed every time I look at them.
