Well I originally came across another topic for this, but they would not allow me to add onto it. The man described small pimple like white bumps on his genitals, that if picked at would come off hard like a wart and would excessively bleed. You described it as "small follicular cysts" but both me and my boyfriend both have them. We've been together for over 7 mo now, and they just showed up about two - three weeks ago. Is there any way we could both have that? Or is it a different problem all together? We have both been with solely each other, so if it is an STD why would it show up now? Hope someone can help us, thanks!
Hello,
From the symptoms molluscum is an important possibility because both of you are having it and it is highly contagious. In adults, molluscum infections are often sexually transmitted and can transmit from one site to other skin sites by aoutoinocultaion. Treatment includes physical destruction or manual extrusion of the lesions, cryotherapy, and curettage.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
