MCV is a contagious skin virus. It is transmitted via skin to skin contact as well as via sharing fomites like towels.

It is self resolving. i.e. even without treatment it will go away by itself. But this usually takes 6 months or more.

MCV lesions can get bigger and more multiple especially in people with weak immune systems.

There are many treatments available for MCV from excision to creams to cryotherapy.

As with all STIs, diagnosing one mandates screening for others.

Please do not take this as a diagnosis or medical advice. You should still go see a Doctor.
