On the groin area, yes. Waistline, probably not.
The average clearing time for everyone, regardless of gender, is about 8 months, but 90% will clear it in 2 years.

is it possible to get genital warts, as a male, on the waistline, or groin? I thought it was only on the tip of the penis, shaft, and scrotum. Do you think maybe because my body is trying to defend against molluscum it's guard is down and these warts are showing because of it? I guess I will just go to the doctor and try to get a biopsy to figure out what is going on. If it is Genital warts, about how long on average in men does it take to rid itself of the virus?
I can't really answer that for you. Its possible that the HPV is genital, and that you are just now getting symptoms - it can be years from infection to symptoms - or that it isn't, and you just happen to be getting them in strange places.
The only way to know is to get a biopsy of one and have it tested for the strain. Most doctors won't do that, because it doesn't make much difference medically, but you might ask yours.
I get plantars warts (warts on the bottom of your feet), and they removed a couple by cutting them out. It wasn't 2 weeks later and I started getting more just next to where I had the others removed. I was not pleased lol, and my doctor said sometimes you get more as you treat them. I haven't heard that with other kinds of warts, especially genital ones, but its a theory.
It could also be that your body is just trying to deal with molluscum and warts at the same time, and isn't dealing with it all that well. Just give it some time, but don't hesitate to go and get the new stuff treated.
