Molluscum contagium and scarring
« on: 01 June 2011, 11:14:04 am »
hi there, just to introduce myself as i'm new to the site  :)

i starting working for an agency in dec 2009 and stopped working in sept 2010 due to stress and family illnes, i knew i couldn't mantain my emotional wellbeing and work during a difficult period so i took a break.
I have 2 regular non-work partners with whom i always practice safe sex.
so i continued to have my twice monthly GUM checkups, out of habit and paranoia because i'd rather be saf than sorry.
plus i intended to go back to work when things had settled down.
Anyways, the gyno said i had very mild mollusum contagium which is like a little bump on the skin, (i thought they were ingrown hair or blocked follicles, some were barely visable.
she treated them with cryotherapy and now im left with about 9 pink small round marks that stand out against my tanned skin, not pretty.
i had this done about 5 weeks ago
my question is have any other escorts had this problem? did they fade? how lond did u wait to return to work and were u self conscious?
i have been given the all clear but have not returned to any sexual activity as i am embarassed and gutted.
its really getting me down as i was looking forward to working and have an agency eager to get me started but am at a loss... :(
has anyone been through this or have any advice? its so depressing and frustrating!
many thanks in advance for any help x

Someone else asked about this one recently.

I wouldn't worry - it's common, often not sexually transmitted and you have the all clear from the clinic - but not everyone takes this attitude.

i know, and i feel that i take pride in the service i provide to clients and dont want to unsettle them or compromise my buisness. its hard too , as there is no one i can talk to about it, even tho a couple of close people know my career choice i still feel inhibited about telling them ??? it just carries such a stigma.
i would just hate to get demeaning comments from a client or reviews that are horrid. i guess i  will try and give it a few more weeks to fade and heal and see what happens?... thanx for your reply x

What you have is effectively the equivalent of a sore nose after having a cold... except that they'd be much more likely to notice the redness around your nose.

You're ultra-conscious of the marks, because you've been going argh about having it. However, it's very common (lots of young kids get it via close contact with each other at school), you've had it treated, and you're not going to pass anything on.

Have you asked the clinic how long the cold burn marks will last?

They are only faint scars so theres nothing to worry about. You can have sex and wont transmit it.

Ive had it too. Like 6 months later it came back which after about a month they had gone but left a deep purple scar from a clutter of several small dots gathered together (very itchy!), scar remained for about 3 months and it was very noticable, not pink dots.

Condoms dont really make any difference. During sex you typically catch it from both of you rubbing your pubic skins together. The only way to avoid catch it is to not have sex men who have a bush of pubes, as you cant see if they have anything on their skin (faded scars are ok).

Its probably common among prostitutes who work on the streets and in cars as they dont bother to check the mens pubes area out, - just slap a condom on and hump away! you know.

Which is why its always best to give them a blowjob, as a discrete means of observing for any nasties.

Dont worry, these are very common and the marks will fade.

I had these once as a kid, I used to swim alot and shared towels when we were all getting dry so thats I caught them, several of my friends did too , it was all over my upper body, the Dr treated them and I have no scars.  It was a long time ago, but I cant remember being left with marks for a long time, and there is no trace now.  Like others have said you are probably noticing the marks more than other people will.

Worryingly I have noticed more clients coming to me that have them, as well as warts on their genital area, and they are obviously not aware.   I had to break it to one poor man this week that he had a bad case of molloscum and he was very embarrassed, and  had no idea he had them.

Are these actually classed as an STI!? I'm not really sure, I think I mite have had them a few years ago but they've gone now!

If we keep ourselves as clean as is humanly possible then we should all be ok.  ;D
