What blights teenagers' lives in part of London, according to local reporter (4)
I believe the answer is:
acne
'reporter' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acne that I've seen before include "sort of disease" , "Skin spots" , "Face problems" , "Youthful problem" , "Skin condition associated with pimples" .)
