Molluscum Contagiosum On Glans Penis. No New Papules In The Area Of Popped One. Suggest Remedy

I'm a 24 yr old male. I have molluscum contagiosum on my glans penis. I had the infection two years ago, but it had cleared up. I found three small papules in my pubic region and four, maybe five on my glans. I successfully popped the ones in the pubic region, removed the viral core and cleaned. No new occurrences in that area. However, the one on my penis are too small to attempt that same procedure. Looking for some medical advice at this point.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

The best treatment for molluscum is enucleation, which you have already done.

The one on penis is very small, so just wait till it grows bit bigger and you can remove it.

Dont worry it is not going to harm you.

The frequency of lesions has decreased which suggests that your body has developed immunity against the virus.

This is a good sign.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
