Lesions

Lesions are areas of damaged or abnormal tissue in the body, which can occur due to injury, infection, inflammation, or disease. They can appear in various forms, such as sores, lumps, or spots, and can be found on the skin or inside organs. Lesions can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and their characteristics can provide important clues for diagnosis. Doctors often use various tests, such as imaging studies or biopsies, to investigate lesions further and determine the appropriate treatment if needed. Understanding lesions is crucial for identifying underlying health issues.
