Spies blemishes on skin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moles

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'spies' is the first definition.
(mole is a kind of spy)

'blemishes on skin' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for moles that I've seen before include "Burrowing animals or small growths on skin" , "Small dark spots on the skin" , "Traitorous spies" , "Skin spots or burrowing animals" , "Breakwaters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
