Hello,
Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur.

Molluscum contagiosum lesions are flesh-colored, dome-shaped, and pearly in appearance. They are often 1–5 millimeters in diameter, with a dimpled center. They are generally not painful, but they may itch or become irritated.

Molluscum is a viral disease and it can be diagnosed by examination.But the diagnosis can be confirmed by skin biopsy.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
