molluscum and trying to maintain it.

molluscum and trying to maintain it.

I've had it for about 9 months finally got it treated last week. I just wanna no I'm trying to be careful with touching the sores and stuff. Just have couple questions.

1) is it still contagious? I've read a couple post by a Dr on her that its not really.
2) since I've had them burned off is it OK to touch and clean them without fear of spreading it..
3) what is the chance of reoccurring?

It hasn't spread much in the last nine months just now I feel Like I'm gonna spread it all over my body..maybe its just because I know the virus and it makes me paranoid..can I just relax?

Auto-innoculation is quite common, but being a self limiting condition nothing to worry, since it would disappear too,should new lesions  ever appear.Relax!
