Muscule
 It is circumscribed spot having difference of
color from the surrounding and is not
elevated above the skin surface.
 Muscule is produced by vasodilation
Papule
 It is a solid elevation over the skin around
or less than one centimeter in diameter.
 It is usually pink or red in color.
 Caused by cellular infiltration, metabolic
products, allergic response etc.
Plaque
 Solid elevation with flat top having the
diameter of more than a centimeter is known
as plaque.
 Plaque is usually observed in acute allergic
conditions.
Nodule
 Solid circumscribed mass extending into
dermis is known as nodule.
 Large papules greater than one centimeter
are also considered as nodule.
Vesicle
 Small fluid filled elevation of the superficial
epithelium of the skin is known as vesicle.
 A large vesicle is known as bulla.
Pustule
 Vesicle filled with pus are known as pustule.
 Pustule may be result due to inflammation.
 Pustule may be considered as superficial
minute abcess.
Wheal (Urticaria, hive)
 Circumscribed semisolid elevated round or
flat topped lesions are known as wheal.
 It arises due to allergic reactions.
Scale
 Excessive accumulation of discarded
keratinous debris over the skin surface is
known as scale.
 It remains bran like structure over the skin.
 It is discharge of sweat and sebaceous
glands.
Crust
 It is dried discharge of exudate on the skin,
skin surface formed of serum blood,
epithelial cells, cutaneous debris,
microorganisms and medicines.
Erosion
 An erosion as known as loss of superficial
layer of the skin.
Ulcer
 Loss of all layers of epidermis is known as
ulcer.
 Ulcer may be result due to breakdown of
vesicles or pustules.
Excoriation
 Superficial erosion of the skin is known as
excoriation.
 Mechanical damaged caused by scraching
is responsible for excoriation.
Scar
 A scare is formed by proliferation of fibrous
tissue in an area replacing healed up
lesions.
 Caused due to traumatic damaged,
ulceration, surgical intervention etc.
Lichenfication
 It is defined as thickening and hardening of
tissues.
 It results due to chronic inflammatory
process.
Fissure
 Split of skin is known as fissure.
 The elasticity of the skin is lost in this
condition.
Pigementation
There may be hyperpigmentation or
hypropigmentation
