Molluscum contagiosu: You can try using retinA. Otherwise see a dermatologist who can treat the molluscum with a variety of chemicals. There is no need to wait two years

Imiquimod or curette: Molluscum Contagiosum can be treated by freezing them with liquid nitrogen or scraping them out with a curette. Some people have had resolution by using a cream called Imiquimod (Aldara). You might consider seeing a dermatoogist familiar in treating molluscum. Best wishes!
