Macule: A macule is a change in the color of the skin. It is flat, and if you were to close your eyes and run
your fingers over the surface of a purely macular lesion, 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.

or infection of the primary lesions.
