PUSTULATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Pustulate is a verb that describes the act of developing or producing pustules. Pustules are small, raised, and inflamed areas on the skin that contain pus. The term can also refer to the formation and appearance of pustules on plants, animals, or other organisms.

    In the context of dermatology, pustulating is commonly associated with skin infections or conditions such as acne, folliculitis, or impetigo. These conditions result in the formation of pustules as a result of infection, inflammation, or the blockage of hair follicles. Pustules typically appear as small, red, and tender bumps on the skin that are filled with a yellowish or whitish fluid.

    In the realm of veterinary medicine, pustulating can refer to similar inflammatory processes occurring in animals. For instance, certain bacterial or fungal infections may cause pustulating skin lesions in pets and livestock. The presence of pustules in animals often signals an underlying health issue that requires medical attention.

    Additionally, the term may be used figuratively to describe the development or proliferation of problems or complications in a non-physical sense. For example, it could be said that a situation or condition is pustulating if it is worsening or becoming more complicated over time.

    Overall, pustulate primarily signifies the formation and presence of pustules as well as the processes involving their development and appearance.

  2. • To form into pustules or blisters; to cover with blisters.
