Erosion and ulcers are considered secondary skin lesion. Abrnkak ( talk) 18:50, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
This article is a mess.. I came here looking to find info on skin ulcers... can't find it, except for a link at the bottom that refers back to this page -_-' Then I started looking for vesicles, but I also got redirected here... Also, all foreign articles (other language wikis) are now broken because they can't link to the specific subjects because all of this is just mashed together. 62.195.40.242 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC).
Organising dermatology into a simply accessed format is hard. One of the difficulties with dermatology reflects the numerous antiquated compounded latin names of many diseases which are descriptive and reflect clinical appearances (as partly described in this article)and add to the mystique of the dermatologist! Even more confusing is that many of these potentially clinically discrete entities conditions rely on not just the clinical appearance but on body part(s) involved, rapidity of development and duration of the lesion, extent, any other symptoms elsewhere in the body, age, sex, race, geographical locality together with biopsy results. The biopsy appearances naturally attract another barrage of antiquated terms which again are not specific in many cases when taken in isolation. Many diagnoses require additional investigations to confirm e.g. serology, immunofluorescence etc. Diagnoses are usually made (or confirmed) by integrating all the clinical and pathological data. This article could usefully be re-engineered into two separate articles to cater to the different audiences who may happen upon it. 109.148.85.46 ( talk) 10:09, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
For example, in different dermatologic texts, the papule is variously described as no greater than 1 centimetre (0.39 in) in size, less than 0.5 centimetres (0.20 in), smaller than a pea, or ranging in size from a pinhead to that of a split pea. [1] In 1987, the International League of Dermatologic Societies published a glossary of basic lesions that has been a step towards standardization of this basic nomenclature, [2] but there is still no strict set of definitions that have been universally agreed upon.
