Confess I was doubtful of all of you, because "areola" on Google produced entries entirely concentrating on the breast. But when you add pustule to areola, it's quite different. WebMD medical dictionary and the tiscali dictionary of difficult words both clearly refer to areola as associated with pustule. Better stop now, thanks all of you!
