Term

(superficial elevation formed by free fluid)

Definition
pustule
Term

*circumscribed, flat, non palpable, changes in skin color

 

*palpable elevated solid masses

 

*circumscribed, superficial, elevations of the skin formed by free fluid in a cavity within the skin layers 

 

are all examples of:

Definition
Primary lesions (may arrise from previously normal skin)
Term

*loss of skin surface

 

*material on the skin surface

 

are all examples of:

Definition
secondary lesions (result from changes in primary lesions)
Term
erosion, ulcer, and fissure cause what type of secondary lesion?
Definition
loss of skin surface
Term
crust and scale are what type of secondary lesion?
Definition
material on the skin surface.
Term

loss of the superficial epidermis, surface is moist but does not bleed

 

 

example: most area after rupture ofa vesicle, as in chicken pox.

Definition
Erosion (a secondary lesion)
Term

A deeper loss of epidermis and dermia. May bleed and scar.

Term

An abrasion or scratchmark. It maybe linear, or rounded, as in a scratched insect bite. 

 

 

Definition
Excoriation
Term

Replacement of destroyed tissue by fiberous tissue. 

Maybe thick and pink which means hypertrophic, or thin and white (atrophic), but does not extend beyond the injured area. 

Definition
Scar
Term

A persion with this condition has intense itching. skin lesions include small papules,pustules, lichenified ares, and excoriations. 

 

With a magnifying lens, look for the burow ofthe mite that caused it. 

Definition
