Macule: A macule is a change in the color of the skin. It is flat, and if you were to

you could not detect it. It is less than 1 cm in diameter. Some authors use 5 mm
for size criterion. Sometimes "macule" is used for a flat lesion of any size.
Patch: A patch is a macule greater than 1 cm in diameter.
Papule: A papule is a solid raised lesion that has distinct borders and is less than
1 cm in diameter.
, Plaque: A plaque is a solid, raised, flat-topped lesion greater than 1 cm in
diameter. It is analogous to the geological formation of a plateau.
Nodule: A nodule is a raised solid lesion and may be in the epidermis, dermis, or
subcutaneous tissue. Generally larger and deeper than a papule.
Tumor: A tumor is a solid mass of the skin or subcutaneous tissue; it is larger
than a nodule.
Vesicle: A vesicle is a raised lesion less than 1 cm in diameter and is filled with
clear fluid.
Bulla: A bulla is a circumscribed fluid filled lesion that is greater than 1 cm in
diameter.
Pustule: A pustule is a circumscribed elevated lesion that contains pus.
Wheal: A wheal is an area of elevated edema in the upper epidermis.
Secondary skin lesions are changes that occur as consequences of progression
of the disease, scratching, or infection of the primary lesions.
