Have Molluscum. How To Make It Go Away?
Hi, I have been told that I have molluscum and was not told anything about it just to look it up online. Anyways it s really embarrassing and i have had it for about half a year and I really want it to go away now but i would like to know what can I do to make it go away?! By the time summer comes around I would like to be able to put on my swim suit without being embarrassed that someone is going to spot my molluscum bumps. PLEASE HELP What s the fastest cure and what do I need to go buy. I m desperate && Newly 20... :(
