Cutaneous lesions
Cutaneous lesions are any abnormal changes or marks on the skin’s surface, such as spots, bumps, ulcers, or rashes. They can vary in size, shape, color, and texture. These lesions may result from infections, allergic reactions, injuries, or medical conditions like eczema or skin cancer. Sometimes they are harmless and temporary, while other times they require medical attention. Proper evaluation by a healthcare professional helps determine the cause and appropriate treatment. Recognizing different types of skin lesions can aid in early diagnosis and management of underlying health issues.
