I'm a bit worried about having molluscum contagiosum in my private area. Is it considered dangerous, or can it be treated without any medical intervention? If treatment is needed, what are the best ways to treat molluscum?

Molluscum contagiosum in the private area is not usually dangerous but can be bothersome. Treatment options include topical medications such as imiquimod cream or podophyllotoxin solution. In some cases, cryotherapy or curettage may be necessary to remove the lesions. For oral treatment, cimetidine may be prescribed in some cases. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
