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!
