I've searched through some of the old threads and jabe tried a few of the suggested remedies yet nothing seems to be working.

Dd has a rather large one which overnight has gone from being soft and squishy to more swollen and firm. Does that mean its infected or is gonna pop itself? Would that mean as it's the main spot that it could be the beginning of the end if it pops?

Shes had it months and months now and still new ones are appearing Sad

That doesn’t look like Molluscum to me. I’d ask for a second opinion. All three of my children had it at various points (one does currently) and it never looked like that.

So its definately not normal then?

Guess I'll have to call the drs again in the morning. No idea what it is then if its not molloscum that's got infected. This is the 3rd "molloscum spot" that's gone like this

Meant to also add that the last ones that healed, did so leaving what looks like beet pale bruising.

In fact all the molloscum.spots that seem to swell up all seem to look bruised aswell Confused
