white dots plus one bump!?

Hey,

a few days ago i noticed a bump on the side/base of my penis it kind of looks like 2 pimples  connects.. pretty much skin tone.. a bittt red.. i also noticed a handfull of tinny pin head sized white dots scattered on my penis..
there is no pain.. no discomfort..and i honestly think the white dots have been there for a while..just havent noticed that bump! i have only been sexually active  in the last few months with my fiance. and i havent been creeping around haha .. so idk.. any ideas on what it could be!? i have had random skin irratation down there in the past and have always gotten checked because of my std paranoia ,  any ideas?! i have made a derm appt. but its not for 2 weeks. i also might add i shaved my pubic region a week ago and the big bump/cluster thing is around the edge of where  hair is growing back on my penis side. thanks

it's an antibiotic. you'd have to call your provider to ask why you were prescribed it.  

washing your hands after touching your genital area is very helpful for preventing the spread of mc to other body parts.

i have very good health insurence which will cover most of anyyy perscription.
what is the likliness i will spread to face mouth, etc

and could the fact that my idiotic  doc had me on protopic a few months ago have attributed to me getting this.

it's a prescription and expensive if you don't have prescription coverage.

good luck with the vinegar- as many folks as you read about online it helping, folks who post on the boards who have tried it, tend not to get the same miraculous results I've noticed.  It's an acid so in theory it would be helpful but like all other topical MC treatments, takes time.

aldara stimulates your own body to fight the mc.  

correct, using protopic on the areas you have mc on can cause it to get worse.  ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17507844   )

I'm a fan of having MC removed so it's less likely to spread.  You can also use aldara on it too.

hey grace,

went to the derm today.

he looked for about a minute and said its Molluscum Contagiousum. And said hes quite certain. He said he could freeze the bigger one but said I was better off letting it go away naturally.  he also said I could try to irratate the area a slight bit to make my body realize it was there, but said that could turn out bad ha.
what is your opinion?
are there any remedies you know may work?  
and should i be scared of spreading it to my face and such, or is that unlikely?!

I have white bumps on the lower back side of the shaft of my penis.... been there since I was in 5th grade... shouldn't be anything to worry about.  another I had a huge bump on the underside of my penis once, I popped it and some oily puss came out.  I was told it was from not completely rinsing the soap when take a shower.  use to get them under my armpits to

best thing to do is to be seen, not guess and self treat.

i have moved my appt to this thursday afternoon.
the big bump in the shave section seems to be diminishing a tad.
but i could swear theres more little pinhead  white dots today.
they are not on the shaft underside just top and singular. no clusters..  
is it most like either normal, an infection, or an std?!

you need to go and be seen and get a proper work up done to find out what is going on.  this could be many things but anything that sticks around for awhile, isn't herpes.
