Likely normal: What you described seems normal. Auto Inoculation is a usual part of the disease, You may visit this site for information on this topic: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/molluscum-contagiosum/index.html

Molluscum: These wart like growths are actually a cousin of true warts that have many differences. They are viral, and tend to appear in clusters. A kid scratching them can trigger spread to other skin surfaces including the genitals. They differ from warts in their tendency to mature and fall off in months rather than the years it takes for warts.
