r/molluscum

Had it on my genitals, doctors gave me some acid tincture that didnt really help, i tried many things i found here that didnt really help to get rid of them

Then I stumbled upon a Reddit Post here that Said he cured it with tea tree oil in two weeks - and I did the same. And its gone, no new bumps. Just tea Tree oil on that shit 2 times a day, and sprayed the other area around it with a mix of 1/4 tea Tree oil and 3/4 water Dno for Protection that it doesnt spread or something :D anyways it worked, im also free in like 12 days, will still continue for a bit tho with water and Tee tree oil mix

I think pure tea tree oil is the Same no matter where you buy it from :) I got This here

Been struggling with mc for few months now. A lot of it has healed, though few have popped up in a different area. This is what I’ve done to get it more or less cleared within 3 months.

.tea tree oil
.ACV
.differin (apalene)
.pimple patches - KEEP THEM COVERED 24/7
.extracting
.lysine supplements
.zinc supplements

Dapped each sore with tea tree oil, added a bit of differin and covered with a patch each time until they came off/needed to come off. Then repeat. I’d also soak a pad with ACV and soak the sores for 5 minutes sometimes before. Sooner or later it will really aggravate them. Usually within a 1-2 weeks and the core will come to the surface. I have carefully exstracted with gloves, washing and using alcohol before and after. If I didn’t extract I’d use a pimple patches for it to do it naturally. Do not keep it uncovered. New towels daily. Loose underwear if it’s genital/clothing when possible. I’d also tried a wart remover on Amazon which froze it off, which I found actually helped with a few mine so that’s also an idea. I took lysine and zinc daily and ate healthy as well as worked on my sleep. Better your health is better your body will attack it and deal with it.

I’d check every morning and night to do this routine, it’s exhausting and makes u feel rlly shit but you get the hang of it. It’s not the end of the world!! I’m still dealing with it but these methods have been the best.

Good luck!

I had remaining 1 spot in my pubic area. I was already celebrating. No new spots in weeks and last one getting treated with a topical. And then outburst of at least 2-3 spots on the penis. I cannot

Talk to me about molluscum. I feel like I’m only reading horror stories and I’m spiraling hardcore. My 2yo was diagnosed on Saturday and he’s not doing terrible, he has 28 spots and he doesn’t seem to be itchy. He is getting 1-2 new spots per day. We covered his spots with pimple patches today at the park to prevent spreading it to others, but I can’t do this for 6-12mos? It’s super hot right now and I can’t just cover all of his skin, although most of his spots are on his trunk and covered anyways. Just 5-6 are on his arms. I feel like trying to contain this at home is impossible and I’m terrified my 5mo is going to get it, she has eczema which I read can make it worse. Tell me your stories. Did it ravage your house? Take years to go away? Not that bad really? Any adults get it?

I have read a bunch of posts, but I don't understand the basic process of cutting into it. I understand that the goal is to get the core and that there will be blood. But... how do you cut into it? This seems like such a stupid question, but thank you for any help!

Hi all,

I recently had balanitis for several months. I had a lot of dryness around my foreskin and a little bleeding at times because it was so dry. I finally found the right combo of anti-fungal creams, and the balanitis went away, but on the way out, I discovered bumps on my penis. The bumps generally come in pairs, and all appeared on what seems like the same day. They haven't grown, and it's been almost two months. They are located in the same area where my hand would wrap around when I masturbate, and nowhere else as far as I can see. I went to the health clinic, and the doctor looked at it and said it was genital warts. They don't look like warts to me, and I haven't had sex with anyone besides my GF. I realize that warts can be dormant for a long time, but the only other person I've had sex with in recent years was my wife of over 20 years. This looks like mc to me. There's no itching or any other type of symptoms; they're just there. Has anyone else had something like this? Particularly, the fact that they are in pairs. That's really odd. I feel like I picked up MC from a public restroom door handle and transferred it to my penis when I went to use the urinal. The other thing I noticed was that they seem to get a little larger after I shower, then return to small bumps within 30-60 minutes.

Hi! I initially went to the derm for what I thought was one bump down there, which she said was MC and cryoed it and a few others so small that I hadn’t noticed myself to the naked eye.

But since I’ve had cryo, it does work on the ones she hits, but way more new ones have popped up and much bigger ones than before too?

Before the situation was barely noticeable, now it’s a lot. And I’m taking more hygiene precautions now obviously as I didn’t even know what it was before so it doesn’t make sense? I’m covering what I can with pimple patches, not reusing towels and changing pyjamas and underwear regularly. Whereas before I wasn’t taking any particular precaution or covering them and it didn’t seem to be spreading?

I’ve had 2 sessions so far. One more tomorrow and I’m worried is the cryo actually making it spread more? Thanks!

I (22 F) finally beat MC after about 7-8 months. Just wanted to share this post bc when you’re in the middle of this virus it truly seems like it’ll never end. Feel free to ask any questions!

(For context my lesions were contained to my pubic area and very upper inner thigh)
