molluscum contagiosum or ingrown hair?

I slept with someone about 2 weeks ago who has just informed me that he has MC.  He didn't have the bumps when we slept together and we used protection.  I recently switched from waxing to shaving because I was experiencing a lot of ingrown hairs from waxing which are still visible and healing (i'm positive these were ingrown hairs because I actually pulled the hairs out of them).  After panicking and making a doctors appt. for tomorrow and googleing MC for hours I decided to take some precautionary measures.  I bought tea tree soap and have been using it in the shower twice a day and applied apple cider vinegar to the bumps in my bikini area with a cotton ball and covered the ball with tape as many people on other forums said was very successful.  One of the bumps turned into what looks like a white head and the others pretty much looked the same after about 12 hours of the apple cider vinegar covering.  I take vitamins every day and live a very healthy lifestyle.  So could this still be an ingrown hair??  Am I panicking for no reason?  Or is it MC like I have been dreading?

Thanks for the advice, Grace.  I did a lot of research on the apple cider vinegar before I tried it, I found it on many forums and many people said their doctors approved it as an effective and safe natural treatment similar to having them removed with nitrogen.  I will ask my doc today if it is safe just to be sure.  Thanks again for your response.

putting acid on your delicate bikini area is never a good idea.  Putting it on a cotton ball and taping it in place is an even worse idea!!  You are pretty much putting yourself  at risk for chemical burns.  you absolutely can not always believe what you find online!!  

going to be seen is the best course of action.
