Rough patch? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acne

'rough patch?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for acne that I've seen before include "Youthful problem" , "Skin condition prevalent among teenagers" , "Cane for the teenager?" , "Spotty coverage" , "Inflammation of glands in skin" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
