Defining Primary Skin Lesions
Primary skin lesions are differences in color or texture that may be present at birth, such as moles or birthmarks, or that may be acquired during a person's lifetime, such as those related to infectious diseases (warts, acne, or psoriasis), allergic reactions (hives or contact dermatitis), or environmental agents (sunburn, pressure, or temperature extremes).
Primary skin lesions
Macules are a change in skin color, without elevation or depression and, therefore, nonpalpable, well or ill-defined, variously sized but, by convention, less than one centimeter in diameter at the widest point. This lesion is recognizable due to the color difference compared with the surrounding normal skin, and may be white, blue, or red. Macules are the consequence of hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, vascular abnormalities, capillary dilatation, or purpura. Their treatment include whitening products.
Patches are a large macule alike or greater than 1cm in diameter.
Papules are a circumscribed, solid elevation of skin with no visible fluid, they can vary in size from a pinhead to 1cm. They can be brown, purple, pink or red in color. Papules may open when scratched and become infected and crusty. They can be induced by localized cellular response to the process of acne, and can be eased with a natural skin treatment.
Plaques are a broad papule, equal to or greater than 1cm. They are a consequence of psoriasis and granuloma annulare. To treat them it is recommended to try creams that reduce itching.
Vesicles are a circumscribed, fluid-containing epidermal elevation that can vary from 1 to 10 mm in size. Herpes infections, acute allergic contact dermatitis, and some autoimmune blistering disorders form vesicles. They can be solved with lotions.
Bullae are a rounded or irregularly shaped blister containing serous or seropurulent fluid, greater than 1cm in diameter. Burns, bites, irritant or allergic contact dermatitis, and drug reactions can cause Bullae.
Pustules are a small elevation of the skin containing purulent substance regularly consisting of necrotic inflammatory cells. Pustules represent collections of neutrophils. They may emerge in some inflammatory illness including pustular psoriasis. Treatment may involve medications, ultraviolet light A, creams or ointments.
In this case papules are acne marks. They form when there is a high break in the follicle wall. It frequently precedes a pustule.
