Infected molluscum?

I know that mollusca often look quite inflamed just before they finally heal. Ds2's molluscum is at that stage, but one of the mollusca looks a bit nasty. It's far more inflamed and swollen than I've ever seen on either of my boys, dark red on the sides, and it's got the shiny, slightly crinkly look that a mega-zit sometimes gets. It's right on his waist, so I've put a loose plaster over it to stop his trousers chaffing it, and yesterday the plaster looked like there had been a little bleeding.

Is this normal, or is this a visit to the GP?

Oh no. One on his eye. That's dreadful. I hope it's something else on there like a normal spot. Poor boy.
