Healthy people may not need treatment for molluscum contagiosum, because the bumps usually go away on their own in 2 to 4 months. Some people choose to remove the bumps because they don't like how the bumps look or they don't want to spread the virus to other people. Doctors usually recommend treatment for bumps in the genital area to prevent them from spreading. If you need treatment, your choices may include: Freezing the bumps, called cryotherapy or cryosurgery. Scraping off the bumps, called curettage. Putting a chemical on the bumps, like cantharidin or potassium hydrochloride. Using liquids or creams, such as those used to treat warts.
