I had molluscum quite a few years ago - I had to have them fronzen off, but I don't recall them ever getting bigger. Once I had my treatment all the bumps remained gone.

I hope this helps.

i guess. did your molluscum ever appear in different areas? like i had one on my shaft, then a year later one on my scrotum. the office i went to said it was still in a local area, and she seemed certain it was molluscum again. so she froze it off without analyzing it. ugh.

The bumps will get bigger right before they start to heal. It's a good sign.
