Hi my name is David and i have a question. At the bottom is a link to a picture of the red bumps. I have had them for almost a year now and simply havent gone to get it checked out bc a.) i dont have insurance and cant afford to and b.) i thought they were pimples that would eventually just go away. Ok to explain my situation: they are red bumps that appear and they start out with white heads
just like a pimple, then i pop them and white stuff comes out and then i proceed to bleed. The 2 on the right are the most recent, as you can still see where they were popped. The 2 on the left have been there for a while, as if they're scars. They do not hurt except when i pop them or when they are ready to be popped. They do not itch very often except after being popped (but for me cuts
and healing wounds and such always itch at first). I dont know what they are and it has me puzzled. It cant be herpes bc I've only been with one girl and I was her first as well. I had Molluscum
There seems to be a problem accessing the links. However, I would recommend that you try to avoid popping the lesions to prevent any secondary infection. Molluscum contagiosum is a common, benign, infectious viral disease affecting the skin and mucous membranes. With your history of molluscum, it is likely that this is also the case. It appears as multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug. A curd-like discharge can be squeezed from them.They are generally not painful, but they may itch or become irritated. Picking or scratching the bumps may lead to further infection or scarring.The virus may spread to neighboring skin areas due to autoinoculation. It may go away on their own.
Other differentials may include folliculitis or inflammation of the hair follicles or sebacious cysts. If it persists, it would be best to have this evaluated further. Direct clinical evaluation is important. Take care and keep us posted.
