Unsure what it is?
8 yrs ago was treated for Molluscum, freezing, had to return to Std clinic within wks to be retreated and was told had hpv, returned again and doctor was not sure, this went on for about 3 - 4 yrs,went to clinic maybe 5 times in that 4yrs period, cant remember seen about 4-5 different doctors at the clinic, now for the first 6yrs of that had same girlfriend, she was treated for Molluscum at begining same time as me, she was checked and never told she had hpv...ive been single for 2yrs and have not had sex sence her, i have seen the same doc for the last 3 yrs and have gone in to see about tiny bumps around my pubic/ groin area which is where i seem to notice them, i have to really look hard cause im paranoid now, never notice any on shaft or testicals and doc has never been sure exactly what they are, just treated them and they went away,and some doc left, she said it was possible just the way my skin was caus now last 6 months or so have gone by and i just notice little bumps again, its always been only 3 or 4 tiny bumps or skin tags or what i dont know in differnt spots, doctor told me no test for males....so if it where HPV how is it possible that for 8 yrs now my body has not cleared it, am i going to avoid sex for the rest of my life, no wife, no kids...i think about it every day.......i avoid being intimate with anyone cause i dont want to tell them i may or may not have or had Hpv...What to do???
The important part of your post is "if it was HPV".
Your doctor seems to think that it is just normal skin.
I would go with her opinion.
See a dermatologist if you need reassurance. If the derm is uncertain he or she may biopsy.

I am in a similar situation. I too, am diagnosed with Molluscum, but under my right arm pit.
I however, have had a rash on my scrotum for over a year now that I fear has to be hpv. It started off mean red, then after steroid creams and jock itch creams, etc. it is now a softer red/pink. It has a defined line at the bottom of it where you can see the obvious red and then normal skin. I have seen 2 STD doctors, 2 Dermatologists,and a nurse practitioner. They have all told me that A) it's normal (defined red line and red scrotum is not) B) Irritant dermititis C) NOT an STD.
I have small bumps in my rashy area that are very small and I have to strech my skin and the light hits it right. They are small little bumps and I think they are HPV. I tried showing them to the dermotologist and he told me they are sebacious glands. However, that skin has not looked normal for over a year now. I personally think it is hpv because I had protected sex with a girl 4-5 years ago and woke up with a burning sensation at the base of my shaft/top of scrotum, but they all pass it off like it's nothing, and no medicine they prescribe makes it go away... I feel your pain.. I feel like I have hpv, and I am starting a relationship right now and have come on to ask girls a question about whether I should tell the girl.. If she got it from me I'd feel guilty for not warning ahead of time... but someone will accept you like you are. Maybe not the first, but there are many others that have had hpv. You have to be willing to be uncomfortable and tell with the risk of rejection.. not everyone will reject. I know with my situation, if a girl told me she had something, I wouldn't run... Would you?? put it in that perspective.

You are very paranoid. These don't sound like anything. No wife no kids! Nearly everyone has or will have an hpv infection. You need to move on.
