I’m just here to share with everyone that not all molluscum lesions look like textbook mollusucm lesions! Micro lesions do exist. Not everyone gets them, but some who get this virus do produce micro lesions.

I’m just here in hopes to make others feel less alone with their small micro lesions. In my opinion these are the worst because they’re very hard to spot, and hard to treat as well. These bumps tend to appear and spread a little more vigorously than the ones that tend to be bigger in size because they go so unnoticed. I know many people probably feel crazy wondering if that small pimple looking thing is really mc? Well I’m here to tell you, if you’ve never had pimples or prior skin issues before this virus, it very well could be!

This isn’t to scare anyone, and I am not a doctor, but I have confirmed from dermatologists that these are MC & I’ve spoken with many other people who have this virus and share the same lesions. You’re not crazy for analyzing your skin closely when you have bumps as small as these, you’re not over reacting.

And truth is, this virus affects everyone’s skin type differently, so if someone else’s lesions are big and have a huge pearly indication, it doesn’t always mean yours will too. It’s unfortunate that this isn’t taken more seriously. Everyone who has this and has smaller lesions are pretty much left to their own devices in terms of how to rid it, or they just have to ride it out. I can’t tell you how many times my dermatologist said “that’s not MC” and then cut into it, and found the white pearly core lol.. then apologized to me! They don’t grow much in size- they only tend to take on a more pearly shape!

Again not to scare anyone, just to raise awareness that the lesions can be very tiny, and skin colored. Making it very hard to treat or notice at first. A reminder you’re not insane for noticing the changes in your skin!

This is so insane lmao. This is close to my foot. All I do is wear hoodies and sweatpants 😂 so cautious of spread and yet it still spreads. None have even been near my foot. This thing appears where ever it wants to on my body. It’s actually insane!

u/oopsitsindigoo — 4 days ago

Genuinely don’t understand how they’re spreading. Rid so many and more pop up (in completely different spots)

I’ll admit, it’s easy to over analyze every single blemish when having this virus. But I’ve also never had acne on my face before this virus, apparently other skin issues can happen once you have mc. Kind of just need some reassurance this is a regular pimple or clogged pore?

u/oopsitsindigoo — 9 days ago

Can someone please help me figure out what this is? It’s on my breasts & itches so bad. Any dreams that are suppose to help or soothe it just spread it around it seems. I’m starting to worry.

So hoping this is the end rash. Curious if anyone else has had any rashes when MC was clearing up? They said when your immune system notices it (it can trigger a rash to help your immune system force it out and clear all cells)

u/oopsitsindigoo — 12 days ago

This is absolute insanity. I used a cream from the dermatologist and not even 10 hour later I have way more MC? How is this even possible😩 I have a healthy immune system!

u/oopsitsindigoo — 14 days ago

Used once & in less than 15 hours it made my skin break out like this. Is this an allergic reaction?

u/oopsitsindigoo — 15 days ago

It’s so crazy that my mollusucm literally look like this. It’s hard to even decipher it from blemishes on my body. And yes this is molluscum- it was biopsied on another part of my body. This virus is absolutely insane!

Just a rant post

I hate this virus and what it’s done to my body and my confidence, not to mention the toll it’s taken on my mental health. My dermatologist says I have a rare, widespread case and that my mollusucm does not look like textbook MC at all. However the biopsy confirmed it is in fact MC. He doubted it at first, but reassured me I was right and have a very good eye to be able to see the microscopic lesions. They now don’t want to even curate anymore lesions off because of how many are all over my body.

He says that they never see them widespread on adults with healthy immune systems. I never even get sick, and I have no health issues. I’ve tried so many different things and nothing really seems to be helping. I’m at such a loss. My life feels non existent and I really have suicidal thoughts a lot since having this virus. I am a women and cannot shave. I feel disgusting and gross, and I don’t even enjoy showers anymore. I know this can go away at some point but with as many on my body, it feels like it’ll never end. And more and more just keep coming. I could have one on my leg and than the next week it’ll be another on my face or arm. It makes no sense at all.

Knowing something like this exists on this earth makes me want to not reside here. Before this virus I’ve always been a very happy, go lucky, optimistic person. I’ve always seen the brighter sides of things, and even help and encourage others to do so. I just don’t see light at the end of the tunnel with this. I’ve had this for an entire year already and I just wish this nightmare were over. I don’t know how to cope anymore. All I do is cry, loathe and get discouraged because despite all efforts, they just keep coming😢 I genuinely hate this so so much, I don’t know how much longer I can continue on with this.

I don’t think this will ever go away:( they’re too microscopic for dermatologist to even help me…

u/oopsitsindigoo — 19 days ago

Derm swears this isn’t MC but yet it spreads all over my face if I don’t keep it covered.

u/oopsitsindigoo — 19 days ago

Okay I’ve decided I’m going to have a family member help me curate these things out. Has anyone else done it? Any videos on how to properly do it?

NOT SAFE FOR WORK POST

I was wondering if these look like molluscum to you? In my last picture (the not safe for work one) it shows when I first noticed the molluscum- which was 100% molluscum. I don’t know if the new ones I have (in the first 2 pictures) are mc? 🥺- I am frustrated because I think all my bumps have looked different throughout the entirety of me having this virus. Is this normal? Some are more red like pimples, others more round and pearly looking, and some appear more white and skin taggish. I’m honestly so confused. The dermatologist is scrapping some off but they don’t believe the ones I have circled are mollucum? The reason I believe it to be MC is because mine have always itched. I’ve never had skin issues prior. All my MC itch me and lets me know it’s there by initially making me itch it. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I don’t feel like earth is my home and I really struggle here.

I post this as I wonder if anyone else has ever felt the same.

Let me start off by saying I had a very rough childhood because I’ve always rejected to conform to society, and authority. Anytime I would get punished, or frustrated as a child with society and how we operate as a society, I’d run and lock myself in a room, or my own room, and I would sit there and say “I want to go home.” I would do this as young as 4 or 5 years old.

It’s funny because even throughout my growing years I still tend to do this at almost 26 years old. I just long for a place that isn’t here. I struggle so much trying to fit in with the normalities of society. Keeping a job, amounting to the social normalities, things along those lines. I feel it is harder for me than the typical human. I wish I could, because I feel like life would be so much easier if I could just get on board- but it’s so hard for me, and my soul rejects it.

Does anyone else feel this way?

7/16 hollow?

Hi guys! I had some questions about the hollows when getting skates sharpened. I do a lot of edge work, in fact it’s my favorite thing. I’m not sure what my skates were sharpened at when first getting them, because the guy didn’t tell me. I weigh about 175lbs, and the blades lasted me about 3 months before needing them sharpened again. However, once I knew I needed them sharpened again, I did some research and decided to go for 9/16, since they did not do 1/2 at my rink. I’ve skated less than 6 hours on the ice & theres literally no bite to my blade at all, and my skate was skidding around. Doing basic things were hard, and I had to work much harder to achieve them.. The first couple hours on the 9/16 seemed great, but I definitely do not like them so dull. I am trying 7/16 now and hope that I will enjoy them. I definitely like edge work and biting my skates into the ice, so I am hoping I’m making the right decision!
