pimple, bud
Usage Note
Bouton covers three common meanings: a button on clothing or a device, a pimple or skin blemish, and a flower bud (bouton de rose — rosebud). Context usually disambiguates. The compound bouton-pression means 'snap fastener'. Teenagers complain about boutons on their face the same way English speakers say 'spots'.
Examples
"Il manque un bouton à ta veste."
