Molluscum Contagiosum?!
Question: Okay so i went to the doctor and they checked out these bumps i had on my vagina. She said it was molluscum. She popped them n squeezed the stuff out. Said it should be gone in a week. That its a virus and spread through towels, swimsuits, and not sexually transmitted. I looked up alot on it and it sounds way worse than what she said. Does anyone have this or can give me better info!?

The virus can spread through contact with contaminated objects, such as towels, clothing, or toys.
The virus also spreads by sexual contact. Early lesions on the genitalia may be mistaken for herpes or warts but, unlike herpes, these lesions are painless.
Typically, the lesion of molluscum begins as a small, painless papule that may become raised up to a pearly, flesh-colored nodule. The papule often has a dimple in the center. These papules may occur in lines, where the person has scratched. Scratching or other irritation causes the virus to spread in a line or in groups, called crops.
The papules are about 2 - 5 millimeters wide. There is usually no inflammation and subsequently no redness unless you have been digging or scratching at the lesions.
The skin lesion commonly has a central core or plug of white, cheesy or waxy material.
In adults, the lesions are commonly seen on the genitals, abdomen, and inner thigh.Molluscum contagiosum lesions may persist from a few months to a few years. These lesions ultimately disappear without scarring, unless there is excessive scratching, which may leave marks.
Individual lesions usually disappear within about 2 - 3 months. Complete disappearance of all lesions generally occurs within about 6 - 18 months. The disorder may persist in immunosuppressed people.
I think you should go for good doctor or clinic (http://www.the-dermatology-centre.co.uk) for best treatment. because it will be best for your health point of view.
