fusspot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one who's hard to please' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fellow with pimple going round the states' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'F' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pimple' becomes 'spot' (I've seen this before).
'going round' is an insertion indicator (some letters go around others).
'the states' becomes 'US' (abbreviation for the United States).
'f'+'spot'='fspot'
'fspot' going around 'us' is 'FUSSPOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?
