I’m here because I had molluscum contagiosum as an adult, for about two years. It’s usually seen as a children’s thing, and I felt very alone with it: unsure, ashamed, checking my skin four or five times a day. I skipped sport, swimming and the sauna, and I even gave up holidays because of shared towels.

What helped me most with the shame was slowly understanding that thousands of people go through the same thing, and that it isn’t a question of hygiene.

If you’re dealing with it right now, especially as an adult: you’re not alone. I’m happy to share my experience and to listen.
