Hello,

thanks for writing in.

This indeed looks like Molluscum contagiosum to me. However a better pic with a close up of the lesion will be more helpful.

Just to inform you that Molluscum is usually spread by sexual route. However, if the lesions are present at sites other than the genitals, then thepossibility of infection through other routes like touch, kissing, using infected things like epilators, razors, combs etc should also be considered.

You should avoid oral sex as the infection may be transferred to your partner.

This is easily treated by chemical or radio cautery. You may talk to a dermatologist personally for it.

However, i strongly recommend you to send me a better, clearer pic so that I can have a closer look at the lesion and be 100% sure.

Thanks
Awaiting your response

Hello

Thanks for the pic.

this is indeed Molluscum Contagiosum only. As I said earlier, when present over extra-genital sites, it is not usually considered an STI as there may be other sources of infection.

You must refrain from oral sex till this is treated completely which is easy to do and doesnt take much time.

you may visit a dermatologist and get treated either by chemical or radiocautery. The bump will fall off in a day or two.

Thanks

Yes, you can put makeup over it (if it is essential). But try to use mineral based make up, not oil based.

Liquid nitrogen spray is a good way to treat these lesions.
