To dream of your flesh being full of pimples, denotes worry over trifles. To see others with pimples on them, signifies that you will be troubled with illness and complaints from others. For a woman to dream that her beauty is marred by pimples, her conduct in home or social circles will be criticised by friends and acquaintances. You may have small annoyances to follow this dream.
