A member asked:
My molluscum bump started oozing in the shower. i put alcohol and a bandaid on it. now i have itchy red spots near it. did it spread?

Possible: People with this skin disease can cause the bumps to spread to different parts of their body. This is called autoinoculation. Such spread can occur by touching or scratching a bump and then touching another part of the body
