Genital Molluscum Contagiosum. Applied Medication Quickly After Shower. Blister, Painful Scrotum And Lower Shaft. Treatment?
Hello, I have genital molluscum contagiosum, I started treating it with retin-a almost 2 weeks ago. I did two things wrong, applied it quickly after the shower, and used a cleanser containing benzoyl peroxide. I now have a raw/moist/blistering and very painful scrotum and lower shaft. What can I do to heal/ease this burn? Thanks

Hi there ~
I understand your concerns and am sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. To ease the pain you might want to keep the area dry and clean. Using povidone iodine powder might be helpful to heal the lesions soon. Also consuming vitamin C will help with the healing process. I hope this helps.
Take care and have a lovely day!
