Not Advisable: While you can treat molluscum with the otc wart freezing products, the skin on the penis is thinner and can be more easily damaged by improper treatment. I would advise having someone with a lot of experience freezing items in that area do the treatment. It is a fine line between freezing the wart just enough for treatment and damaging the skin.

Molluscum: Otc freezing can be used on the penis with caution. However, otc freezing is a minus 55 while the doctors freezing is a minus 320 so it is not as effective. A product on the internet that is very effective for molluscum is molluscumrx and it is not as painful.
