Hi
In regard to your query,
1. It is not that in all t he cases this wisdom tooth gets infected unless if oral hygiene in not properly maintained.

2. Coming to the bulge it is nothing but the molar is erupting wait till it gets exposed to the oral cavity i would suggest you to wait and watch till it completely erupts.

3. Coming to the extraction of wisdom teeth not all teeth needs to get extracted it depends on the situation and condition.

visit your dentist or oral surgeon for suggestion and further treatment if there is a problem otherwise you can wait and watch

Hope i have answered your query and this helps you out.
