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.
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.
