Can't ge rid of molluscum!!!!

Can't ge rid of molluscum!!!!

I was diagnosed with molluscum in November of this year.  I was treated with liquid nitrogen but it did not go away and in fact, it got worse.  I went to my family doctor again at the end of December, and again she treated it with liquid nitrogen but still it is alive and well.  It is only in my pubic area.  My husband too had it and was treated twice and it has disappeared.  Did I pass it to him and is mine not going away because I am immunosuppressed?  I had a kidney transplant and so am on 3 immunosuppressing meds.  Please help!!! How can I get rid of them!!???

Thanks so much

Hello,
Your immunosuppression can be one of the reasons for your non healing of molluscum lesions. Treatment includes physical destruction or manual extrusion of the lesions, cryotherapy, and curettage.
If cryotherapy is not successful, then you can go in for other treatment options mentioned above.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
