Now that I know I couldn't have got it sexually over a year ago I know that it must not be sexually transmitted. Could I have gotten it on my hand and then scratched in that area?
I have recently been diagnosed with MC in my genital area and I have had the same partner for a year. She does not have it and she is convinced that I got it from cheating on her. I have seen two doctors who have told me that it is normal and I could have got it another way. I will admit that I am surprised I have it on my genitals without skin to skin contact.
Has anybody encountered this problem before? Is it common to get MC in your pubic area without it being an STD?
Does anybody know if it is possible to get an MC infection from somebody who has no physical signs of the virus?
Thanks Grace. That's exactly what I thought. I have only been diagnosed once. After the diagnosis I looked back at the bumps I had in the past and realized that they looked exactly like these. I will make sure that I have the dermatologist do more than just a visual test next time I see her.
having MC come and go would be very unusual. at this point all you can do is to avoid sex with your partner at this point and once these are all treated and gone, should they reoccur, be seen again. if you are visually diagnosed as having MC multiple times, make sure they are sending one to the lab for biopsy to confirm that indeed it is always MC.
if you are fully clothed and wash your hands after using the bathroom, no worries about this being transmitted to your newborn once it's here :)
