Primary Lesions
Definition : lesion occurring on non pathological skin which have not been altered by trauma, manipulation (scratching, scrubbing), or natural regression over time.

Macule
• Definition : Flat, circumscribed skin discoloration that lacks surface elevation or depression, less than 1 cm in diameter*
![Page 6: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• TYPES1)Hypopigmented : due to decrease in number of melanocytes or the amount of pigment they produce E.g. : tuberous sclerosis , nevus achromicus , etc nevus achromicus
![Page 7: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2)Depigmented : due to complete loss of melanocytesE.g.: vitiligo , halonaevus
3)Hyperpigmented : due to excess of melanin in skin
A)brown or black : due to excess of melanin in epidermisE.g.: freckles or chloasma
![Page 8: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
B)Bluish-grey : due to increase melanin in dermis ( tyndall effect ) E.g : Mongolian spot, nevus of Ota

Wheals• Evanescent , edematous , platue-like
elevations of various sizes • Usually oval or arcuate , pink to red ,
surrounded by a flare of macular erythema• Caused by transient vascular reaction in the
upper dermis mainly due to vasodilatation and increased permeability of capillaries
• It is the characteristic lesion of urticaria

Vesicle AND Bullae• Elevated ,superficial well circumscribed lesion containing clear
fluid , less than 0.5 cm in diameter
• A vesicle larger than 0.5 cm is known as Bullae• They can arise by separation of skin at different levels i.e a) interepidermal eg bullous impetigo b) supra basal e.g Pemphigus vulgaris c) dermoepidermal eg erythema multiforme
![Page 22: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

• Pustules are characteristic of pustular psoriasis, pyoderma, rosacea
![Page 24: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cyst
• A sac that contains liquid or semisolid material in a well-defined cavity
• 2 most common type-• A) Epidermal cyst: lined with squamous
epithelium and produce keratinous material• B) pilar cyst: originate from hair follicle lined
with multilayered epithelium
![Page 25: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Abscess• An abscess is a collection of pus below the
skin
• Pus in an abscess is invisible but clinically be interpreted as sign of inflammation in the overlying skin
• • Abscess cavities do not have well-defined
lining as cyst
![Page 26: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Secondary lesions: modification of primary skin lesions that result from traumatic injury , evolution from
primary lesion , or other external factors
• Crust• Scale• Erosion• Ulcer• Fissure• Scar• Atrophy• Telangiectasia
![Page 27: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Crust• A collection of cellular
debris ,dried serum,pus or blood and sometimes bacterial debries
• antecedent primary lesion is usually a vesicle,bulla or pustule
![Page 28: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Types• Golden yellow,soft friable : Impetigo
• Yellowish : Flavus
• Thick hard and tough : third degree burns
• Lamillated,elevated, black or green : syphillus (oyster shell)
![Page 29: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Erosion
• Partial focal loss of the epidermis alone. Heals without a scar
• Eg herpes zooster, TEN,Erosion interdigitale
![Page 30: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Scale• Abnormal shedding or accumulation of the
stratum corneum in visible flakes is called scaling• Formed due to - a) formation of epidermal cells is rapid OR b) process of normal keratinisation is interferred with
![Page 31: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Types• Fine and delicate : P.versicolor
• Coarse : eczema
• Stratified : Psoriasis
![Page 32: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Ulcer
• A full-thickness, focal loss of epidermis along with parts of dermis ,heals with scarring
• E.g : bed sores , Syphillus Diabetic foot
![Page 33: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Fissure• Linear cleft in the skin through the epidermis and part of dermis may be single or multiple ranging from microscopic to a few millimeters having well defined margins They occur most commonly when skin is dry and thickened due to inflamation
Pain is often produced by movement of part,Which opens or deepens the fissure
Commonest sites a) tips and flexural creases of thumb , finger and palms b) edges of heel c)clefts between fingers and toess d) angle of mouth,the lips,nares auricles and anus
![Page 34: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Scar• A collection of new connective tissue, that
replaces lost substances in the demis or deep dermal tissues
• They may be atrophic or hypertrophic
• Hypertrophic scars / Keloid develop when fibrous components predominate
![Page 35: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Excoriation And AbrasionPunctate or linear abrasion produced by mechanical meansUsually involving only the epidermis Caused by scratching with fingernails in a variety of diseaseE.g : atopic dermatitis , Scabies
If the damage is due to constant friction or mechanical trauma the word Abrasion may be used
![Page 36: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
AtrophyReduction in the components of a tissue,Organ or part of bodyIn skin1) Epidermal Atrophy results from decrease in
epidermal cells .Gives rise to frequently transparent epidermis and alteration of skin surface i.e(loss of normal skin lines and fine wrinkling
2) Dermal Atrophy results from decrease in the reticular or papillary dermis .Clinically seen as depression of skin
![Page 37: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Usually dermal and epidermal atrophy seen together E.g : D.L.E,Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus
3)Atrophy of paniculus caused due to lipoatrophy.Clinically seen as deep depression
![Page 38: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Lichenification
• Focal area of thickened skin produced by chronic scratching or rubbing
• Clinically triad of accentuation of skin markings ,thickening of epidermis and Hyperpigmentation
• Eg : lichen Simplex Chronicus usually seen superimposed on pruritic conditions
![Page 39: Lesions of skin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548795b7b4af9faa0d8b5423/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

COMEDO:Non inflamatory lesions of acne resulting from impaction of pilosebaceous gland
• OPEN COMEDO• Impaction occurs in
dilated follicular orifice• Visible as black
keratinous mass i.e. blackhead
• Closed Comedo• Impaction occurs lower
down in follicular orifice• They are not dilated • Lesions appear slightly
lighter than skin colour i.e. whitehead
