red marks on inner thighs (diagnosed as molluscum)

[alex_peters]

I was diagnosed with molluscum by a doctor and took an std or sti test (whatever they call them nowadays) and it came back negative. The marks on my penis seem to match the description of molluscum perfectly but on my inner thighs i have some red bumps that i think could be molluscum that are infected? not sure let me know. The are about the size of a pencil eraser and i have about 7 of them.

Also is molluscum to do with any increase in penis sensitivity (sexually) especially on the tip? because i used to be able to last for atleast 2 hours during sex and now i feel like going in like 2 minutes. its wierd as hell. please let me know asap. thanks

Hello,
In adults, molluscum infections are often sexually transmitted and can transmit from one site to other skin sites by autoinocultaion.They present as smooth, pearl-like, flesh colored bumps which can occur as single or in groups of three-four.They are harmless, painless, and typically do not itch.

Molluscum are not related to penis sensitivity.It can be due to overmasturbation or intercourse, stress and anxiety,poor communication with your partner, unrealistic sexual expectations, which make sex a task rather than a pleasure,negative feelings about non performance,smoking, alcohol and sometimes illicit drugs.

I hope that helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or in case you have additional queries. Kind regards.
