4. Plaque: A flattened skin elevation caused by papules that coalesce. Examples:
psoriasis lesions and granuloma annulare are typically formed.
5.Nodule
SOLID, RAISED MASS. Cysts, lipomas, and fibromas are examples of larger
and deeper skin layers than papules.
6. Vesicle - Up to 1 cm. The epidermis is elevated in a circumscribed area.
Examples include acute allergic contact dermatitis, herpes infections, and
certain autoimmune blistering illnesses such as dermatitis herpetiformis.
9. Bullae: A confined elevation of the epidermis with clear fluid. Greater than

bacterial infections and folliculitis-induced thin epidermal flaking. (Common in
psoriasis, dandruff, and dry skin)
13.Crust
Crusts (scabs) are made of dried serum, blood, or pus. Crusting can occur in
inflammatory or infectious skin conditions (for example, impetigo). Erosions
