Question:
How can I prevent getting Muscula Contageousum from my brother?
No, not molluscum, muscula. They are little wart-like things on my brothers arm that are supposedly contageous that are hard to remove and leave scars. I really don't want one. Is there any way to prevent them or another option for my brother to get rid of them? Those of you who don't have it or have a relative who has it, it doesn't really show up on google, I tried, but the doctor says that it's really not just a wart. Thanks!
Answers:
Hi, they can be spread by sharing towels, or getting intimate. They spread really badly. Some people have tried putting pee on them to make them go away. They're not STD's although some doctors will tell you that they are. I've seen pictures of little kids with them on their eye lids and elbows. As long as you don't share anything like towels etc with him you'll be fine. Just keep checking yourself regularly and if you see any get them burnt off straight away. They can take up to 6 weeks to actually appear though.
