coalescing nodules or papules may make up plaque.

21
Q

vesicle

A

small blisters less than .5 cm with a clear fluid. like what u get with herpes

22
Q

bulla

A

large blister with clear fluid. greater than vesicle so greater than .5 cm think contact dermatitis

pus filled raised lesion can be papular or nodular ex acne or bug bite

24
Q

wheal

A

raised smooth lesion often with erythematous boarders and pale center skin unbroken. ie welt

25
Q

scale

A

roughness at surface it can represent hyperkeratosis which is thickning of stratum corneum

26
Q

crust

A
