What does PIMPLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, raised spot on the skin, often red and inflamed.
A pimple forms when a pore in the skin becomes blocked with oil and dead cells and then swells, which is why teenagers meet them so often. The word may be of Germanic origin and is related to the idea of something small that sticks out. Doctors tend to say spot or lesion, while pimple belongs to everyday speech, and advice not to squeeze one is the usual care tip.
