A member asked:
Is molluscum contagiosum in the pubic area contagious if all lesions have been removed and are no longer present for a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: If they are truly gone the site would not be contagious. However, new lesions can arise from the area that were not evident when removal was done.
