Brief Answer:
? Intertrigo
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your query that you had molluscum lesions on your genitalia which were removed by a doctor and you are now having itching around the penis.
Itching may not be related to the molluscum or the procedure.
It could be due to skin irritation called intertrigo.
You could apply a antifungal dusting powder twice a day.
Keep the area dry.
Do not was the area excessively.
Avoid scratching or rubbing as this could lead to eczema which will worsen the itch.
You could take an oral antihistamine like Benadryl at bedtime for 5-10 days for symptomatic relief.
Hope this helps you.
If you have any further queries, I will be glad to answer.
Take care.
