QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS
ALREADY GRADED A+
Pustule - ANS-Elevated, superficial lesion like a vesicle but filled with purulent fluid; E.g.,
Acne, impetigo
cyst - ANS-Elevated, circumscribed, encapsulated lesion in dermis or subcutaneous layer; filled
with liquid or semisolid material; E.g., Sebaceous cyst, cystic acne
wheal - ANS-circumscribed, irregular-shaped, elevated area of cutaneous edema; solid,
transient; E.g., insect bite, allergic reaction, TB test
Bulla - ANS-Vesicle >1 cm; E.g., Large blister, bullous pemphigus
Telangiectasia - ANS-fine, irregular red lines produced by capillary; E.g., Rosacea around nose,
spider veins
purpura - ANS-extravasation of blood in the skin causing macules and papules (about 2mm),
larger spots-ecchymosis (bruise)
petechiae - ANS--Tiny 1-2 mm, red macules, result from tiny hemorrhages
excoriation - ANS-Linear epidermal abrasion caused by scratching (term frequently confused
with erosion).
fissure - ANS-Linear crack in epidermis, may be moist or dry; E.g., athlete's foot, dry heels
, erosion - ANS-Loss of epidermis
scale - ANS-Heaped up, keratinized cells; flaky skin, irregular; thick or thin; E.g. dry skin,
seborrheic dermatitis
scab - ANS-A dry, protective crust that forms over a cut or wound. Not to be confused with
eschar.
Hemosiderosis - ANS-Brownish pigment caused by the breakdown of blood hemoglobin in red
blood cells. Iron and other byproducts are released from hemoglobin through leaking small
blood vessels and converted into hemosiderin. This shows up as a brown stains or even bruise
like staining on the skin and is a sign of chronic venous insufficiency.
LIPODERMATOSCLEROSIS - ANS-Chronic inflammatory condition characterized by
subcutaneous fibrosis and hardening of the skin on the lower legs. Causes a tapering of the
leg to an inverted champagne bottle shape.
atrophe blanche - ANS-the name given to a particular type of angular scar arising on the lower
leg or foot. Is a spontaneously developing lesion, often mistaken for a scar of previous
ulceration.
Lichenification - ANS-Rough, thicken epidermis due to chronic rubbing, itching; E.g., chronic
dermatitis
hypertrophic scar - ANS-Thicken, wide, raised scar due to over production of collagen; E.g.,
surgical incision
Keloid - ANS-Irregular-shaped, grossly & progressively elevated scar that grows beyond
boundary of wound
