Suggest Treatment For Spots Around The Anus

I'm 15 years old and i've had spots around my anus for 3 or 4 years now. When they fist occured i asked my doctor about them, and he said they were realated to mollusc's. He said they'd go away by themselves within a few years but they haven't yet... will they ever?

Welcome to HCM
I have read and understood your query
Hope it may help
Bumps or raised skin lesions caused by molluscum goes away without treatment.However the time taken by them varies in different individuals.It may take two month to upto 4 years.
if you try to remove bumps by scratching, or getting them removed by a physician using cryotherapy (freezing) or curettage (scraping) can cause pain, irritation, or permanent scarring
I would suggest you not to worry about them if they are not causing any pain or discomfort.
I will be happy to know if it was helpful.You can approach us anytime with another query
