Mollascum Question -Please help

[kamina261]

I recently went to the doctor and she was pretty confident I had Mollascum in my genital area. She used cryotherapy to burn the 4 raised growths and said they would dissapear within a couple weeks. It actually looks like they are going away but the problem is I am having this weird burning sensation when I get an erection and even when I pee there is a slight discomfort. Is this just the area healing from the virus or is it some kind of after effect of the treatment? Or is this some kind of OTHER medical problem? I really don't understand what is going on but the whole area there feels really weird, even tingly sometimes.

Thanks for your response. I still have no idea what is wrong. I recently went to the doctor and got my urine tested and didn't get a call back so I am guessing there is no infection or anything. There is no blisters or anything either. It seems to be getting better and is now only apparent when I get an erection and when I ejaculate it is really uncomfortable, almost burning. I really have no idea what this is. My only guess now is some sort of prostate irritation or something? Or maybe the cryotherapy really affected me and its taking a while to heal? I don't know anymore.

Hello,
It can be due to the aftereffects of the cryotherapy. If there are any blisters after this tingling, then get herpes sores ruled out. Other possibility is of vitamin B 12 deficiency. You can take multivitamin especially containing vitamin B 12 for this for some days. If the symptoms persist then please get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.
