Diagnosed with Molluscum

I went to the dermatologist today and was diagnosed with Molluscum for the bumps on my thigh I discussed in my previous thread.  Molluscum is completely new to me.  I have never heard of it until yesterday.  The dermatologist sprayed the bumps to freeze them.  He said that it helps speed up the healing.  Now the bumps are really red and they look like they have grown a little, but that just may be my imagination.  

How soon can I expect the bumps to go away?  He told me that if they weren't gone in 2 weeks to come back in and he would freeze them again.  He said everyone reacts differently to the spray so there is a chance I would need more than one treatment.  Does this sound right?  Also, would bumps looked irritated and possibly increase in size a little after the spray?

Thanks.

Do the bumps normally react the way I described when they are sprayed?

Thanks.
