?? molluscum ??: There is a wart like viral process called molluscum that can come up in crops and stay for months before they fall off.It is a cousin of a wart, often itches and becomes red if scratched.Sometimes you can appreciate a dimple in the top like a volcano crater.A pcp or dermatologist can confirm it once the bumps mature and give you treatment options.
