Yes indeed: If you were lucky enough to avoid molluscum contagiosum when you were a child, you are susceptible to it and probably caught it from your kids. See a doctor (preferably a dermatologist) to confirm the diagnosis and get treated. But don't worry about it: MC is a minor condition with no known complications.
