is this molluscum?

hi,

im 31 years old and i had contracted molluscum on my lower belly. ( above the penis but lower than my belly button. ) i had a few treatment sessions and the last one that surfaced was burnt ( liquid nitrogen ) on the last week of june 2010.
its been clear since then until 2 weeks where i noticed a pimple but this time on my penis shaft. it's been the same size since i noticed it. i've been to a doctor and she said "it doesn't identify as molluscum but if you have any problems come back and i will treat it" im still worried i dont want to deal with another breakout. it was painful enough.

Here is a link to it  http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=gxHJ4v0

Hello,
From the symptoms unfortunately it looks like molluscum. The other possibilities are folliculitis or a cyst. Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You  can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lump persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

Hope it helps. Take care and regards.
