Mollescum in Groin Area

How do you get rid of it? I have been to the doc 3 times about it and she says it is nothing to worry about. I just want to get rid of it. She gave me a cream which should help, but it hasn't really made a difference in 6 days.

Hello,
In adults, molluscum infections are often sexually transmitted and can transmit from one site to other skin sites by aoutoinocultaion. Treatment includes physical destruction or manual extrusion of the lesions, cryotherapy, and curettage.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
