Molluscum??
Posted: 03-07-05 22:32pm

I have some pimple like bumps on my inner thighs, I have been looking up what it might be and this is the closest I have found to what it might be... Does anyone have information on it or has or does anyone have it? To give me some information. I have had them for awhile now and i've tried a couple things to get rid of them but nothings worked!
Can anyone help me out!!?
Thanks!

Can you provide a little more information?

What size are the bumps? Are they pimples? Can you pop them? What color are they? Are they itchy? How long have you had them for? Do they get irritated? Do they only show up in the summer months? ...

Bumps can be just that... Bumps. Need more information before we can help decypher what they could be.

Do you legs rub together when you walk? I used I get those because my legs used to rub together when I was overweight. They were caused by friction.

My legs dont rub together when I walk... Could it be the friction from my legs rubbing against my pants? Hmm

Possibly? I'm not sure. I got them the first time when I was fat and I was in new york during the winter. I think the heater irritated my skin...I live in miami beach so i'm not too exposed to the heater.

They sound just like molluscum contagioseum - & the reason I know is that i've just spent the morning researching it on the net... My daughter seems to have caught them from her cousin.

They are supposedly a virus - which spread on contact - and can be gotten everywhere including the genitals and the eyes. My daughter is 10 , and her cousin is only 4 - and they both have them.

It's a common kids thing, which seems to spread like wildfire.

They say - don't burst them, don't touch them, and then touch other body parts - and there are lots of different opinions on how to fix them, including homeopathics, and to the other extreme - surgery.

You'll need to decide that for yourself.
