Patient's question:
I went to get checked today, and the result was molluscum contagiosum. The doctor said it doesn't need treatment.I'm still frustrated about it, why doesn't it need treatment? Can you explain what this condition is?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is considered to be eczema, papules, balanitis, or genital warts. Among these, inflammation caused by excessive foreskin or poor hygiene is relatively common. If there is a history of unprotected sex, genital warts should be considered. Additionally, if it is balanitis, it is important to determine the specific type of bacteria causing the inflammation, as targeted treatment is necessary. For example, balanitis caused by Candida infection cannot be treated solely with conventional anti-inflammatory medications. The treatment methods vary depending on the underlying cause.It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital for examination. Only through medical testing can a scientific diagnosis be obtained. Targeted treatment based on the cause can lead to a complete cure.
