Molluscum Contagiosum Question

by athens77, Oct 24, 2008 04:05PM
Hello, im 30 yrs old. I always have protected sex! :)
I've noticed 4-5 pimples in my pubic area and a couple of tiny ones on the base of my penis for over 4-6 months now. I went to the Derm today and he told me the news. He told me not to worry about it and removed them with a tool. He told me to come back in 2 weeks shaved to make sure he didnt miss any. Can I have protected sex? I've been seeing a girl now for like 2-3 weeks and it seems like we both ready for the next step. Is it still contagious?

thank you for your time,

Hi,

Molluscum contagiosum is a harmless virus that may persist for months or occasionally for a couple of years. It can spread from person to person  by direct skin contact or sexual transmission. There is no single perfect treatment of molluscum contagiosum and in many cases no specific treatment is necessaryurettage . If curettage was done, there is the risk of not removing all lesions. This is why you refrain from sexual contact until your next follow-up with your dermatologist.  

Take care and regards.
