I have been diagnosed with HPV around 5 years ago. It returned last January and remained until the summer when the cryotherapy and Aldara finally seemed to work. However, it has returned again. However, I am wondering if what I was diagnosed with is in fact either molluscum contagiosum or vestibular papillomatis. I am able to scratch these white bumps off easily and then the area bleeds a lot. It doesn t hurt but it is itchy. What are your thoughts? And if it is truly HPV why has it lasted so long?
Molluscan once it disappears will not come back after treatment, whereas HPV remains even though it has been treated. Cryotherapy is given even for molluscan and the lesions do not come back unlike HPV
