Hello,

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com. I can understand your concern.

From the picture, it seems to be molluscum contagiousum which is a viral infection. It spreads by auto innoculation.

The treatment for it would be extraction by curettage from your doctor.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care.


Patient replied :

I went to my dermatologist today and she told me it was a molluscum or an std, and then proceeded to freeze them off. Im extremely concerned about this i went to get blood work done to test for hiv, and other stds. Is this as serious of a problem as it seems? How long till the bumps usually go away after being treated? Can it spread to my face or other regions easily?

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

It's not a serious problem.

It can spread to other regions easily by autoinnoculation.

Once the bumps are treated, the virus is killed immediately.

Take care
