Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photographs and these are molluscum contagiosum.
It is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a virus.
You need to consult a doctor and get them removed by chemical cauterisation or radiofreqency ablation or extirpation.
