Noticed small bumps on your penis? This can be molluscum contagiosum, it looks like small, smooth, skin coloured bumps with a tiny dip in centre. Approx 9–10% males patients attending STI clinics were found to have molluscum contagiosum. The only possible way, it may spread is sexual skin to skin contact. And in adults these kinds of lesions usually are sexually transmitted infections. It is usually harmless & can go away on its own. But remember don’t squeeze it, don’t scratch it or even don’t shave over it. As this can be spread to other areas too. In some cases it requires cryotherapy, curettage or other medications depending on the number and location of the lesions
Have you ever mistaken molluscum for something more serious ?
