A member asked:

Are there any cures for mulluscum?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Alfredo Nieves answered

Specializes in Gynecology

No: Molluscum is self limiting, it takes around 6-8 weeks for the lesions to go away. We can apply some medication in the office or remove them.

A member asked:

Started using tretinoin for mulluscum. I became inflamed and irritated, and it's still spreading. I got spooked and stopped using it. At first I thought this was the mulluscum, but now I don't. Does this mean I have an allergy? Or will it get better?
