Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am having molluscum contagiosum on my skin. It is just above my penis and on the skin of the right side ball. I can send pictures if you want. I tried ZymaDerm on it but it is not going away. It is increasing. What can I do?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have viewed the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). How long since you have been using this cream? Are you willing for a removal? If yes, for molluscum, I suggest either freezing with liquid nitrogen or chemical cauterization with Trichloroacetic acid. A dermatologist would do it for you.
Or, do you want to try out a medical treatment? If yes, Imiquimod is an option. Regards.

Thank you doctor,
It has been four weeks maybe. I want these to go away as fast as possible. What is the best treatment?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Get them either frozen (with liquid nitrogen) or fulgurated with electrocautery or chemical cauterization with Trichloroacetic acid.
Regards.
