The most common macule is a lentigo, or freckle. See also BIRTHMARK; LENTIGINES; NODULE; PAPULE; PUSTULE; VITILIGO.
But more accurately put, a pustule is a small bump or sore on the skin that's filled with pus. In some cases, pustules may resemble blisters. They can form anywhere on the body but are particularly common in areas that have sweat glands or where hair grows, such as the back, neck, chest, face, and shoulders.
