Are bumps the same as pustules and papules ?

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I can remember reading that papules are red pimples and pustules are red pimples

with white pus type heads or vice versa. I guess it does not matter, eh? A rose

is a rose is a rose? But Sometimes I read some folks refer to rosacea bumps? is

that another type of pimple or just the collective term for papules and

pustules.

And if they ( bumps ) are something different, can someone describe them. I have

a scattering of white bumps but they are not raised above the skin. I cannot

feel them if I run my finger along them. They are in a weird place. On my

jawline adjacent to the chin. I don't have them anywhere else. I don't rest my

hands on my chin and I do not spend a lot of time on the telephone.

Any guesses, or just another one of those rosacea secret surprises.

Regards
