(a ‘pimple’ is a result of a blockage of the skin’s ‘pore’)
(it can be a ‘pustule’ or ‘papule’)
(inside the ‘pore’ are ‘sebaceous glands’ which produce ‘sebum’)
(when the outer layers of skin shed (as they do continuously), the dead skin cells left behind may become ‘glued’ together by the ‘sebum’)
(this causes a blockage in the pore, especially when the skin becomes thicker at puberty)
(the ‘sebaceous glands produce more sebum which builds up behind the blockage, and this sebum harbours various bacteria including the species “propionibacterium acnes”)
(a ‘boil’ (or ‘furuncle’) is a skin disease caused by the infection of ‘hair follicles’, resulting in the localized accumulation of ‘pus’ and ‘dead tissue’)
.
(individual boils can cluster together and form an interconnected network of boils called ‘carbuncles’)

A pustule on the cheek
Macule: A macule is a change in surface color, without elevation or depression and, therefore, nonpalpable, well or ill-defined,[31] variously sized, but generally considered less than either 5[31] or 10 mm in diameter at the widest point.[30]
Patch: A patch is a large macule equal to or greater than either 5 or 10 mm across,[30] depending on one’s definition of a macule.[1] Patches may have some subtle surface change, such as a fine scale or wrinkling, but although the consistency of the surface is changed, the lesion itself is not palpable.[29]
Papule: A papule is a circumscribed, solid elevation of skin with no visible fluid, varying in size from a pinhead to less than either 5[31] or 10 mm in diameter at the widest point.[30]
Plaque: A plaque has been described as a broad papule, or confluence of papules equal to or greater than 10 mm,[30] or alternatively as an elevated, plateau-like lesion that is greater in its diameter than in its depth.[29]
Nodule: A nodule is morphologically similar to a papule in that it is also a palpable spherical lesion less than 10 mm in diameter. However, it is differentiated by being centered deeper in the dermis or subcutis.
Tumour: Similar to a nodule but larger than 10 mm in diameter.
Vesicle: A vesicle is small blister,[32] a circumscribed, fluid-containing, epidermal elevation generally considered less than either 5[31] or 10 mm in diameter at the widest point.[30] The fluid is clear serous fluid.
Bulla: A bulla is a large blister,[32] a rounded or irregularly shaped blister containing serous or seropurulent fluid, equal to or greater than either 5[31] or 10 mm,[30] depending on one’s definition of a vesicle.[1]
Pustule: A pustule is a small elevation of the skin containing cloudy[29] or purulent material (pus) usually consisting of necrotic inflammatory cells.
[30] These can be either white or red.
Cyst: A cyst is an epithelial-lined cavity containing liquid, semi-solid, or solid material.[31]
