Hello doctor, I have itchy red bumps on my thighs and labia and some of which have whiteheads.  I was not sure what it was. It seems to get worse when I am stressed and I am irritated with certain fabrics. Also, I have tested for herpes, but it came negative as it is too early to test. I am attaching my photo. Please explain me.
Hi. I have read your query and examined your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It seems that you are having molluscum contagiosum and a few of them are secondarily infected. Molluscum contagiosum virus will cause multiple or single raised skin lesion. The papules are umbilicated and contain a caseous plug. This virus may sometimes get inoculated along the small skin injury, such as from shaving which is known as autoinoculation. This virus gets transmitted through direct skin contact, through swimming pool or it could be transmitted sexually (STD). 1. Skin biopsy. 2. HbsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen), anti-HCV (anti-hepatitis C virus) and HIV to rule out sexually transmitted disease. 1. Molluscum contagiosum 2. Folliculitis. Molluscum contagiosum with secondary infection. 1. Generally, it is self-limited and heals spontaneously after several months. Curettage or enucleation is a more effective treatment. 2. I suggest you to take tablet Azithromycin 500 mg once daily for three days and topical Mupirocin ointment local application twice daily for five days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with their consent. For further information consult a dermatologist online.--->
