Hi. DD is 3 and has some of those molluscom skin taggy things on the back of her knee. She has scratched at one and it has gone bad - was raised and hot and with a big red circle around, it erupted a bit then dried over and the redness went away. However it is still tender and there is still a hard lump under the skin, you can clearly see the swelling when looking at it in profile. We are going on hols for a few days tomorrow and my worry is that possibly something is festering in there, any suggestions? dont fancy traipsing round cornwall looking for a weekend clinic if it goes bad, or am i fussing too much?
