Hi I have a few spots around my bum area, my GP said the look like molloscum, I’ve been trying different things to get rid of them as they appear, my skin around my bum feels like it’s burning/ stinging has anyone else experienced this?
Hey Emily! I've had molluscum contagiosum for YEARS. It's not settled yet, but since I've decided to act on it, I have found really interesting things that might help you. First of all, start eating healthy food, the state of your immune system plays a great role in your recovery, you have to be healthy if you want to get rid of them.
Recently, I've started drinking a cup of water with 3-4 tablespoons of organic ACV (with the Mother, that's really important. Also, don't eat for an hour (or even a couple hours if you can) after drinking the mixture)
Since the day I started, I've noticed my skin is far softer and the mollusca are slowly scabbing and leaving my body. Some people apply pure ACV with coton balls directly on the mollusca, but I personally prefer not to, as it may burn the healthy tissue around it and sting a lot. Also, given their location on your body...bad idea haha
Just keep them covered any way you can, it prevents spreading.
That's about it...Be patient! As your immune system strenghthens, the spots with naturally leave. And it takes some time...^^
Thank you I have some acv I will start taking it as a drink, I’ve been taking multi vitamins for immune system, and also taking thuja. The spots that do come up are like little red bumps but it’s the stinging sensation that drives me mad. My first spot appeared in May on my inner thigh and I’m on to number 8 I think now. I pray they clear up they have me in tears sometimes and GP is no help.
Yes, in my experience, a burning/stinging/tingling sensation would sometimes precede a new mc appearing or occur when one was already present.
Omg, I'm so sorry. It has never hurt me so much that it brought me to tears...Maybe you could try putting some cream on them and then cover them?
I’ve bought some bye wart cream to see if helps, I only have a few at the minute so have put bazuka on them and will see what happens, thanks for help
Years? That sucks. Hey take these supplements called: MyCommunity by Host Defense. Apparently they give them to HIV patients and seriously immunocompromised patients. It will make your immune system a beast.
I had MC for 4 months and it was gone. Thanks to these boosters.
I will look into them thanks, I’m just so fed up the stinging is almost constant, did u do anything else to yours or just supplements
Hi did you have the stinging sensation most of the time? I feel like I’m aware of it almost constantly, has anything helped you in getting rid of them, thanks
So I created an entire post dedicated to the treatments I used. It is very precise. I am fairly confident it will help you overcome MC in less than a month. Try it! If you want, I will also explain the science behind each step I have posted. Best!

Hi Allan thanks for you advise, I’ve looked for compound w advanced, I can get the normal one not advanced will this do the same job or Brazuka sub zero? Thanks again
Hi again sorry I’ve double checked and compound w normal one is only available for shipping to uk from America as far as I can see so not sure this is an option for me. I will look into wart freezing products here thou and see what I can get thanks again
Any cryotherapy solutions with a small head. My suggestion was that you don't want to burn off healthy skin. Some of these products have big heads to treat massive plantar warts, which is too much for MC.
I didn't necessarily have "stinging" in the areas that I had bumps but I was definitely much more "aware" of those areas (just not quite stinging). I would get tingling or a sharp pinch in areas where I was about to get a new papule.
Thanks I will have a look again
Thanks I think mine are spreading as I am now getting the sensation on my lower back and further down my right leg 😥
This sounds a lot more like my experience. I had the MC spread to a number of random places on my body and, to the best of my knowledge, it wasn't spread by touch. A urologist I saw confirmed my suspicion that, for some people, it seems that once you have contracted MC, it just pops up in new places (yay).
This is why I cannot emphasize enough the importance of doing EVERYTHING that you can to boost your immune system. Drink tons of water. Take Vitamin C. Sleep. Don't Drink. etc etc etc ... This way, your body will clear the virus faster. (of course, you still need to treat each bump as fast as possible).
Thank you, I feel I am trying everything, It’s starting to affect me relationship with my husband as I am not wanting to have sex I am so worried about spreading it, I now sleep in pyjamas and I sleep on top of the bed wrapped in a sheet so I don’t come into contact with my bedding as my kids come in my bed. I was everything on a 60c wash and tumble dry it. I have my own towel which again I only use once then wash. I don’t know what else I can do 😩 my bumps are small just new really as I have been trying to treat as soon as they come I have pricked most of them out, not sure if this makes it worse? I am now trying to keep a plaster over each one again I’m not sure if it’s best to cover on not?
I was told by a dermatologist that as soon as a papule is frozen, the virus should be dead. However, I always covered everything with a bandaid just in case. Instead of sleeping on a towel, I used a separate sheet that I folded in half to insulate me from my significant other. I also found that I could still enjoy sex without giving my gf the disease using both a condom and wearing clothes that prevented direct skin on skin contact. The one caveat is that friction could potentially spread MC on yourself.
The single most challenging aspect to MC for me was mental. At the time, it was a massive deal and I just felt like I couldn't get a handle on it. I was ecstatic when my body finally cleared the disease and it did get better over time. New bumps would come in waves but those waves got smaller and smaller over time. Unfortunately, I went through about 6 doctors before I found one who was sympathetic to my situation and offered any form of compassion. Hang in there.
Thank you for your help your right about the mental bit being the worst it’s got me feeling very down and tearful
