Molluscum
I have molluscum on my genitals and received cryotherapy and aldara cream... where the cryotherapy took place it looks like the white head is coming out of the skin like its being pushed upward to fall out... it looks like i can take the white head out with tweezers... is this a good idea or really dumb?

Hello,
It will be better to get them pulled out from a dermatologist as sterile instruments can be used and you can be put on topical and oral antibiotics to prevent infection.
Hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hello,
After cryotherapy treatment for molluscum, the lumps may become irritated, itchy or sore. Bathing in salt water may help relieve these symptoms. Do not scratch any irritated areas after treatment, as this may spread the infection.
I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
