Cutaneous condition Lesion Type (Primary Morphology). Macules are flat, nonpalpable lesions usually 10 mm in diameter. Macules represent a change in color and are not raised or depressed compared to the skin surface. A patch is a large macule.

Eyelid Lesions: Diagnosis and Treatment The lid lesions may be misdiagnosed as a number of other eyelid lesions including basal cell carcinoma, papilloma, chalazion and sebaceous cyst. There is no predilection for the upper or lower eyelid and the local immune response will often be sufficient to eliminate the virus. Other treatment options include excision, cryotherapy or curettage. 4

- Two types of skin lesions exist: primary and secondary. Primary skin lesions are abnormal skin conditions present at birth or acquired over one’s lifetime. Birthmarks are primary skin lesions. Other types include: 1  blisters: also called vesicles; these are small lesions filled with a clear fluid. They are typically the result of acne, boils, or impetigo. 2  rash: lesions that cover small or large areas of skin. 3  They can be caused by an allergic reaction. 4  A common allergic reaction rash occurs when someone touches poison ivy. 5  wheals: skin lesions caused by an allergic reaction.

Lesion There is no designated classification or naming convention for lesions. Because the definition of a lesion is so broad, the varieties of lesions are virtually endless. Although most frequently found in the mouth, on the skin, and in the brain, or anywhere where a tumor may occur, [citation needed] lesions can occur anywhere in the body that comprises soft tissue or osseous matter.

Ulcer: An ulcer is a discontinuity of the skin exhibiting complete loss of the epidermis and often portions of the dermis and even subcutaneous fat.

Papules, Scales, Plaques and Eruptions Picture of Erythema Multiforme 1 This disorder is termed multiforme because the morphology of its lesions is so variable. The primary lesion is most often an erythematous macule that evolves into a papule. Early in the course, these lesions may easily be mistaken for urticaria. As the lesions enlarge, they form round or irregularly shaped plaques. Concentric circles of erythema and dark gray discoloration may evolve, forming the typical “target” lesion of erythema multiforme. The “target” lesions may coalesce and develop annular or serpiginous borders.

Common skin lesions Melanocytic lesions may be due to: 1  an increase in melanin within the epidermis without an increase in melanocytes (ephilides) 2  an increase in melanocytes along the basement membrane of the epidermis (lentigines)  nests of melanocytes at the epidermal/dermal junction and/or within the dermis (moles).

- Most skin lesions are benign; however, some concern has caused the patient to make an inquiry, and a correct diagnosis is important. The plethora of dermatologic conditions makes a correct diagnosis challenging.To combat this, the clinician must approach the evaluation of the lesion in a systematic way.xcision of a presumed benign lesion accomplishes 2 goals: accurate tissue diagnosis and removal of visual insult to the patient. When total excision of a skin lesion is not feasible, an incisional biopsy can be performed for tissue diagnosis.

- Secondary skin lesions are those changes in the skin that result from primary skin lesions, either as a natural progression or as a result of a person manipulating (e.g. scratching or picking at) a primary lesion.

- One example is a wart. The wart virus is passed from one person to another through direct skin-to-skin contact.
