papular
Covered with bumps
Papular describes something characterized by or relating to papules—small, raised, solid bumps on the skin.
The term appears in medical contexts describing rashes and skin conditions: a papular rash on the forearms, papular lesions.
A papular eruption consists of these small elevations rather than blisters or flat discolorations.
