Finally cleared of molluscum! KoH

Hello, I know I been inactive for a while. I went to boot camp and was still trying to figure out how to get rid of this without seeing any doctors, and I want to share my story.

I’m going to leave off on my last post. Soverign Silver is bullshit, noticed 0 changes. Taking vitamins might’ve helped but I didn’t have enough time to notice any changes. When I left to boot camp I had a handful of lesions on my genital area and on the shaft itself, plus 2-3 lesions that randomly appeared on my shoulder.

Before leaving I was using KoH and patches. I was using KoH VERY aggressively, talking about using it every morning and night until the skin was burnt raw and I was unable to put it on the lesion from raw pain. Patches didn’t work too well on genitals because they would come off a lot at weird angles, but they did manage to kill off one lesion that was on my arm.

During BMT the first few weeks in after receiving the vaccinations and the intense workload, the lesions on my shoulders and lower stomach area started to disappear. The lesions in my genitalia wasn’t effected, but everywhere else it seemed like my body was eradicating it. I witnessed a new lesion appear like a week in bmt then it disappeared in the next week or 2, so I concluded with the round of vaccinations + the very diverse food diet I was eating that it helped supercharge my immune system into finding the molluscum, but the genital lesions was still unaffected

This leads me into now. I only just now got rid of my genital lesions a few weeks ago, and I graduated bmt around 8 weeks ago. I noticed no changes to the lesions on my genitals, but I no longer had it spreading around to other parts of my body. I decided to use KoH again but ONLY once a night, and to stop once I got that burning ting that told me any more applications and my skin is going raw. I used KoH once a night for around 4 days, just putting a few drops on a qtip and rubbing it on the lesions. I stopped applying before the skin went raw, and the lesions disappeared within a week after that final KoH application.

KoH really works, the important thing is to NOT overuse it. I was using it aggressively before BMT with no progress, it only got rid of 1-2 lesions total while all the other lesions just had raw skin and was painful. Use it only once a night, and stop applying it once it starts to get painful as that’s your body warning you the skin barrier is starting to be burnt open. Be PATIENT

Being active, having a varied diet and taking vaccinations seemed to help too as that’s what got rid of my lesions everywhere but my genitals. If you are unable to afford to eat a varied diet, try multivitamins including fish oil. I was eating various meats, fruits, fish, etc at bmt.

Would a doctor get rid of it faster? Probably, but not everyone can see a doctor or wants to see a doctor like me. All my bumps are gone now.
