Can retin-a be applied over genitals for molluscum lesion?

Thank you for your question.Spot treating with retinoids is a treatment option for molluscum, and a common side effect of retinoids is redness and irritation. Retin-A can be applied to the genital region but with caution and close monitoring for any irritation. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist to have your skin evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
