Is it normal for my molluscum skin bumps to spread and get worse after using Zincovit, Aciloc, Tretium cream, and Propysalic soap for 10 days, are these the correct medications for my condition, and how can I safely manage the spread?
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral infection, and it is common for it to seem worse before it improves. Tretinoin cream (Tretium) can cause redness and irritation as it works, which is often mistaken for worsening. However, using products containing steroids, like Propysalic soap, can sometimes lower local immunity and cause the virus to spread. Multivitamins (Zincovit) and ranitidine (Aciloc) support your overall health but do not treat the virus directly. To prevent spreading, please avoid scratching, scrubbing, or sharing towels. I highly recommend consulting your dermatologist to review your current routine and ensure it is tailored perfectly for you.
