Molluscum contagiosum is a viral infectious skin disease. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. The rash can occur in any part of the body. It starts as small papules. The papules gradually grow to size of a small bean with shape like a half ball. The texture is solid. There is no pain or itching. The color can be skin color, off-white or pearl color. They look like small drops of water, so they are also called water warts. Molluscum contagiosum usually disappear within a year. No treatment is needed, but you can also ask doctors to remove them.
