What does MACULE mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A flat spot on the skin that differs in colour from the skin around it but is not raised.
Doctors use macule for a freckle, a patch of vitiligo or the first flat marks of some rashes, always something you can see but not feel with a finger. A raised spot is called a papule instead, and the pair of terms helps describe a rash exactly. In the old printing trade a macule was also a blurred, doubled impression where a sheet had slipped.
