molliscum contagiosum
by bert3867, Aug 21, 2008 06:07PM
I was diagnosed with molliscum contagiosum this week and I was wondering if I have to get treatment. I'm at college and there isn't a dermatology office around me that is covered through my health insurance. I have had these bumps for months, and my gyno said they could go away on their own or get worse if not treated, but she wasn't sure if it was molliscum contagiosum because it's not itchy at all. My biopsy returned and confirmed I have molliscum contagiosum. I have been using this ointment my friend had given me from red bumps he had on his arm. I have been using it on my molliscum contagiosum because I didn't know what it was. The ointment seems to be working. It's called Triamcinolone acetonide ointment USP, 0.1% is it ok to continue with this ointment or could it cause complications. It seems to be working, or it could just be that the bumps are finally going away on their own.
