Pústulas
Definición:
Son lesiones en la superficie de la piel que se caracterizan por ser pequeñas, inflamadas, llenas de pus y similares a una ampolla.
Consideraciones generales:
Las pústulas son comunes en el acné y pueden presentarse en cualquier parte del cuerpo, pero se observan más comúnmente en la cara, los hombros, la espalda y sobre el esternón, al igual que en áreas que presentan aumento de la sudoración como la ingle y las axilas. Las pústulas pueden ser un signo de una infección bacteriana.
