No, molluscum contagiosum is not considered a type of wart. It is a viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus, while warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

If you squeeze warts does pus ever come out?

warts are caused by HPV, human papiloma virus, that might be contagious within the first or two years of initial infection. Warts typically cannot be squeezed nor be popped out. Im not sure what wart you are referring to but if it's the adult wart types (i.e. genital wart) it can't be popped out nor be squeezed. A wart should grip to your skin, like a rock, and it can only be popped out after you apply some acid to it. Even then, you have to forcefully squeeze it out. If you squeeze it gently like an acne, it's impossible the suspected wart was really wart. Most likely it's folliculitis (infected ingrown hair by bacteria) or other common infections. It can also be herpes or molluscum contagiosum. Any skin infection that's too small and too mild is sometimes hard to differ, you have to go to a dermatologist and get a biopsy. Keep in mind, HPV can be cleared up by your own antibody within 1-2 years time, sometimes takes longer like 3-4 years. Before then, expect your wart to keep coming back once every few weeks or few months.
