Molluscum growths

I have what I believe to be molluscum contagiosum around my vagina. More specifically, on my buttocks and my bikini line. I have had them before and they have gone away, but the most recent "crop" has about 10 blisters, and has been growing over the past year. This crop happens to be in the crease of my buttocks, causing it to be irritated on a daily basis. i am also a runner, which does not help.

Short of surgery, is there anything I can do about this? I feel like it just keeps spreading.
Thank you.

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.
