B08.1: Molluscum contagiosum
Water warts are caused by viruses. You can become infected by water warts by touching the warts. But you can also become infected via objects that are shared with an infected person.
Water warts can occur as small pustules in the skin. However, there is a small indentation in the center of each wart. Water warts can also be itchy.
