Molluscum contagiosum

I have what looks exactly like molluscum contagiosum in my pubic region (5 or 6 warts)
and a small darkened macupapular rash on my inner left thigh.  Is this from the molluscum
or is it something different?

Hello,
It looks like mollsucum contagiosum. Molluscum presents as multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug. 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.
I suggest you to get it examined from a dermatologist as it needs a physical evaluation and to confirm the diagnosis.

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.
