Help me! Molluscum!
So I had molluscum around my pubic area, which i went for needle extraction, saw my doctor take out those pesky viruses. But I guess that did not clear the entire virus and seeds were there.
So after a week, i started seeing more bumps. Maybe i ended up rubbing my towel sometime, not on that area but nearby where bumps were there but not visibleðŸ˜. So its almost now on my back and armpit area. I am super scared now.
I got it TCA cauterised, but still new ones around the chest and neck area keep showing up.
I am on this regime:
- 50mg+ zinc per day (cant go beyond this as it wreaks havoc on my gut).
- Applying trenitoin 0.5% on newly coming and suspected lesions.
- Will got to dermat every 2or3 week for TCA application to burn these mfs out.
- Changing my clothes every 2 days, will do it everyday.
I am scared about HiV now as i read somewhere more molluscum means hiv :(.
I did not have unprotected sex and the last person i was with, she did not have any Molluscum bumps i swear i checked. But with her my protection broke, which i realised later ofc. But she wasn’t a hooker but a date with whom i was going out since a month.
I am not sure where else it could have come from.
PleSe guide me.
