Skin Lesions

ID 204

A skin lesion is a superficial growth or patch of skin that does not resemble the skin around it. There are two types of skin lesions: primary and secondary. Primary skin lesions are abnormal skin conditions either present at birth or acquired over one's lifetime. A birthmark is an example of a primary skin lesion. Secondary skin lesions are the result of irritate or manipulated primary skin lesions. Common secondary skin lesions include scabs, ulcers and scars.
