would it be normal that the ACV turned the section of bumps i had the swab on blackish?
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.

he also perscribed me doryx.. what the heck is that for?
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.

can aldara be store bought or should i call my derm monday and ask for it?
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 )
grace
also the derm gave me more protopic.
isnt protopic BAD to use if you have MC?
so can my derm perscribr aldara? does aldara just control it or will it speed the process of going away? i am out of town this week, so cant talk to docter. i have read a crap load of good results from ACV ..its cant hurt trying right?!
I'm a fan of having MC removed so it's less likely to spread. You can also use aldara on it too.

i also tried the apple cider viniger/cotton swab thing today on the big one. any info on that?
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?!
actually the white bumps are all the way around the lower part not jusy the under side. don't notice them unless I stretch it out a bit
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.
grace
and, i have had a hernia for about 4 months now. could that be doing anything strange lol
also, i have a bit of protopic from a few months back when i was.. lets guess.. paranoid about herpes when ..of course, the docter looked and said i was nuts. would it be stupid to apply?!
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.
grace
This does not sound like herpes.
