Whats the difference between a pimple and a bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A pimple: Is due to obstruction of a pore (such as in acne) or due to a superficial infection (as in folliculitis). A bite is an actual injury to the skin from the insect's mouth/stinger. It is possible that an insect bite will develop a "pimple" due to infection.
