I think my fiance has molluscum contagiosum on the shaft of his penis, is there anything we can do like home remedies for this? how did he get this?

Very common: Mc is caused by a "pox virus" and these are extremely common. They are also easily transmitted. They usually just go away on their own and do not require treatment. There are no effective home remedies. He could visit a doctor and it can be "burned" off or treated with freezing.
