Linear arrangement following a unilateral nerve route
Macules
solely a color change, flat and circumscribed, less than 1cm
Papules
Felt and caused by superficial thickening of the epidermis (wart)
patches
macula’s that are larger than 1cm

Wheals (insect bites, allergic reactions)
superficial, raised, transient and erythematous, irregular in shape due to edema (insect bites, allergic reactions)
Tumors
Larger in diameter, firm or soft, deeper into the dermis may be benign or
Urticaria (Hives)
wheals-coalesce to form extensive pruritic reaction
