Molluscum Contagiousum
Me and Wife had Molluscum Contagiousum in our genital area from 6 months, I got rid of it as per my physician gave the treatment which included Tretinoin 0.5 % Cream(applied every alternate day), Zinc acetate tablet, and Rantac 150 mg tablet (one tablet of each everyday twice)1- 0-1... I have got rid of Molluscum Contagiousum completely now ... No more lessions any where, But in my Wife's case it still remains as it is and some times the lessions increase too... we are not having any physical contact due to this... she used Imiquimod cream from past 6 months... I am worried why her treatment is not working? And can she use the same treatment as I took ?Thank you ?
