Ach'orés

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 1: A to Beaufort, p. 35

Ach'orés (Gr. plural, 'dandruff') are one of the forms of pustules occurring in Impetigo (q.v.)—viz. that in which the pustules are very small, but have large inflamed bases. They are most common on the faces of children. They seem to arise from inflamed hair sacs or sebaceous follicles.
