Why do white teenagers have some dots at the area of nose and face? 1. And what do you call that? I think the situation might not happen to all the white kids, but many of them. 2. What do you call the bubble on your feet, especially after you have had a hike. When you stick into that bubble, there is a kind of liquid comes from that, and what do you call that liquid? Better tell me both the colloquial names and scientific names. Thank you!

1. Teenagers are famous for getting acne and blackheads. You can look those terms up. (I imagine you're not referring to freckles, since that is not related to age.) 2. Blisters. Ouch!

Btw, Dinghui, are you telling us that Chinese teenagers have clear skin???

1. Do you mean freckles? Or pimples/blackheads? 2. The bubble is called a blister. Everyone I know just calls the blister liquid "water." Technically I think it is called serum. But no one I know has ever called it that. If it's clear, it's not pus. Pus is the result of an infection and is thick and yellow or greenish. Also, I just wanted to let you know that "better" as in "Better tell me" is a command, and this particular way of commanding sounds rude. I recommend not using this with people. It is usually used when friends sass each other. I hope this helped :)

According to some Googling, the liquid inside a blister is called 'serum'. I would just call it 'liquid'. Depending on how bad the blister is, it can sometimes be called 'pus'.
