A member asked:
My dermatologist said i could use hibiclens in my genital region for molluscum. area now burns, i have since discontinued use. will it heal?

Unusual treatment: Hibiclens is is not a known treatment for MC. Maybe your doctor intended you apply it after scraping or removing lesions, to help prevent secondary infection. Clarify with your doctor, and also ask about standard treatments for MC like freezing, canthridin, podophyllotoxin (Condylox®), imiquimod (Aldara®, Zyclara®), and others. In the meantime, your current skin irritation should clear up soon.
