Pustules or Pimples

*) Acne pustules are small, white or yellow, pus-filled, blister-like lesions on the surface of the skin and may be red at the base with surrounding inflammation.

*) Pustules are common in acne.

*) They may occur anywhere on the body, but are most commonly seen on the face, shoulders, back, over the breastbone, and in areas of increased sweating such as the groin and armpit.

*) Pustules may also be a sign of an infection caused by bacteria.
