molluscum contagiosum - transmitted.
I was diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum. I have heard you can get it "lots of ways" other than sex. What are some of the other ways it can be transmitted?
I don't know much about MC. Go into the expert fourm and use the search field and look for MC questions, the Dr's do a great job of explaining everything.
Sorry for the second post. But I have a lot of questions.
1) How long are they contagious after the sores are lanced?
2) How contagious are they in skin-to-skin contact? 100%?
3) How long can someone carry the virus? I remember having something similar in college and i often flared up when extremely anxious.
4) I have heard that it is transfered by "towels, toys, etc". What are some uses that would cause this transmission?
5) can it be transmitted by touching sore-to-surface-to-skin contact? i.e. toilet seats?
