I would definitely go for it. They will do whatever they can find, then, you have to go back for repeat sessions as new ones show up. It can be as little as two sessions but may be more.

Very wierd, on that day, they removed on bump to do testing. the testing came back negative for molluscum. Will monitor for a while and decide if want to go back and see the doctor to ask about it.

I would definitely ask about it since there is no harm in doing so.

might be warts. warts last for years. mine lasted from 2009 to 2015. about 6 years when finally disappeared. brown velvet bumps all over my pubic hair area and shaft of penis which the condom doesnt cover. from chionging fl in gls and petain road chicken

[energy_boi]

Does it reappear ? Willl it disappear once there

[xiasangju]

i kena before. went to laser off, subsequently treated any recurring ones by putting those korean pimple plasters. the trick is to cover them until they ripen and stop leaking fluid. change about 3 times daily. worked like a charm and disappeared after 1-2 weeks.

I also used raw apple cider to clean them.

How does one usually get this?

Bro, it's a common skin virus, nothing to panic about. It spreads by skin-to-skin contact. In adults that's mostly during sex, so the small pearly bumps usually show up around the pubic area, inner thighs, lower tummy or shaft. You can also get it from sharing towels, or from rubbing or scratching an existing bump.

In women it looks the same as in men: small, smooth, firm, skin-coloured or pearly bumps, usually 2 to 5 mm across, often with a tiny dimple in the middle. They tend to show up on the pubic mound, the outer lips (labia), the inner thighs, the lower tummy and around the bum. They're usually painless, sometimes a bit itchy, and come in a small cluster or a line where they've been scratched or shaved.

To check, look at those areas in good light before things get going. Shaved or waxed skin is the most common place to spot them. If you see bumps like that, skip skin-to-skin contact for now, because a condom won't cover them. A doctor can tell molluscum apart from warts or ingrown hairs just by looking.

Condoms help, but they can't fully cover it because the bumps often sit outside the condom area. A few tips:
- If you see small, smooth, dome-shaped bumps (some have a tiny dimple in the middle), skip the skin-to-skin action until they're treated or gone.
- Don't shave or wax over them, because that spreads them around, like the bros said above.
- Don't squeeze or scratch them, and use your own towel.

It's harmless and usually clears on its own, but that can take months. If you want it gone faster, DSC or a skin doctor can freeze them off quickly and cheaply. Get any bump checked too, since warts can look similar. Take care bro!

Here's what molluscum looks like up close, bros. Small, smooth, shiny dome-shaped bumps, often with a tiny dimple in the middle:

If you spot bumps like these down there, get a doctor to have a look. Take care bro!
