Help with my doubts

[ConstantineFend]

Hi I've developed these fleshy bumps in the pubic area and recently been diagnosed with Molluscum Contagiosum by one of the skin specialist who also deals with STDs..I also underwent the Pin Electro-surgery and the doctor said that its 100% curable..He prescribed FUDIC(Fusidic Acid Cream BP) and Antimox-500 after the electro-surgery..The Doctor said that the fleshy bumps should go away within 2 weeks and there's a chance that they might reappear and when they do I need to see him again and undergo the same procedure..But what I am confused about is, the doctor said that you wouldn't have any itching but that's not the case here; though not itchy throughout the day, I do have itchy sensation once in a while during the day..I've read a little about it on the internet and it says that this might increase rapidly if your immune system is weak but I'm quite healthy, do you suggest me to take up the HIV test??..I would also like to let you know that I was diagnosed with scabies about 5 months ago and I was treated with Permathrin lotion and HHmite soap..I am really confused..Is Molluscum Contagiosum very dangerous and how long will it take to cure it completely..Are there any home remedies that could help???Your answer would be much appreciated doctor..

you need to go back and be seen again and find out what is going on.

this is not the doctor's forum either - you have to pay to post there.

Hi Doc,

   I am really grateful for your previous replies doc..I have a question again.. Molluscum Contagiosum seems to be healing and those fleshy bumps healed on their own, however my  problem here is that the itch is always there not at the areas where the fleshy bumps appear, I don't know how to name it but I would call it the sack which holds the testicles and sometimes a little in the pubic area as well..And also it(sack) appears to be a little rough and darker in color..Before I got scabies I think it was a little soft and pinkish in color..It doesn't itch continuously but once in a while thorough out the day..Please suggest what it could be, earlier I thought it was coz of the scabies but its been like 6-7 months now and the itch hasn't gone away completely..I am really scared and confused doc..Also if this is relevant I've also noticed something similar to pimples on my buttocks and they don't go away completely as pimples do they heal and after a month or so they re-appear..I've been using a powder which is an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial powder but it really hasn't helped much apart from reducing the irritation coz of sweat.I desperately need your advise doc..Do I have any other STD apart from MC...This is the second time I am posing it after waiting for 3 days..Could some one please reply to this..

HIV test is conclusive 3 months since last unprotected vaginal or anal exposure.

Thanks for the prompt reply Doc..Well I've never had unprotected sex but used to have oral sex before I came to know that even oral sex could cause STD's..I don't have oral sex anymore..I have had around 7-8 sexual partners so far..I did get the HIV test done when I was suffering from scabies around 5 months back and the report was negative..Do you suggest me to take up the test once again..

HIV test??? If you have had unprotected sex then sure.
Is MC dangerous...no. Can't say how long it takes, some people get treatement and it goes away, others have to get treatement 2-3 times and then it is gone.

Home remedies...no.
