Pustule

A pustule is a localized epidermal cavity bulge containing turbid pus. It originates from pimples and blisters on the skin. The size of the pustules varies in depth, and there may be inflammatory flushing around it. The shallow pustules become dry and do not leave scars after healing. Deeper pustules can form ulcers and scars after healing.
