pimples
Teenager's facial bane
A pimple is an irritated spot on the skin, often on the face, caused by a blocked pore.
Pimples are usually the result of a condition called acne, which typically affects teenagers.
Pimple is not used very often as a verb but if you pimple someone, you inflict pimples on them.
