Hint on page spotted? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pimply

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

'spotted?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hint on page' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hint' could be 'imply' (I've seen this before) and 'imply' is found in the answer.
'page' could be 'p' and 'p' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pimply that I've seen before include "Covered in spots" , "not smooth" , "spotted?" .)
