Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
It would be really hard to pin point the exact diagnosis, with so little information about the lesions. A digital photograph would have helped a lot.
I would have liked to know more about them so as to be able to help you better.
-What are the symptoms?Itching?Pain? Or burning?
It is unlikely to herpes, because herpes does not persists for so long. There are grouped, well defined erosions, with pain OR burning sensation.
Whereas molluscum presents as pearly white, firm to hard, dome shaped lesions, with a central indentation/umbilication. They are usually asymptomatic.
I would suggest that you consult a specialist/dermatologist and get a confirmatory diagnosis and appropriate treatment for the same.
You can also post me a direct query on my profile along with a clear digital photograph. My profile is accessible via the following link: http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-kakkar-s/66939
