Brief Answer:
Molluscum contagiosum
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like molluscum contagiosum.
It should be removed by a fine needle.
Cream is not going to help much as there is a central white nucleus in every bump which needs to be removed.
The itching and redness is due to side effect of deriva.
Please meet a dermatologist and get it removed.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
