What could these skin coloured bumps be? They came recently in the past week or two. Should I take her to the doctor?

Molluscum contagiosum?

Molluscum contagiosum?

Omg I just looked it up. It doesn’t really look like that because the spots are very small and I couldn’t see them without the sunlight shining on them.. but it says you can catch it from swimming pools and it takes 2-8 weeks to show up.. well, 5 weeks ago we went to waterworld which is known for being dirty, it could be that!!! I’ll take her to the gp, thanks!

I don't think that's molluscum contagiosum. My son had it and the bumps looked more like mini blisters under his arms and a few in his groin area. Good idea to go to the GP though!

If it is molluscum we were told to just continue as normal but not to go swimming or share clothes or towels with other children. It didn't really bother him.
