1 DERMATOLOGY Dr. Khaled M. Al-Qudah 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 1

2 Type of Skin Lesions I. primary lesions: 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 2

3 primary lesions Macule: flat circumscribed impalpable area of color change level with the skin surface (1cm), as in Arabian fading syndrome 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 3

4 primary lesions Patch: a macule more than 1cm, the depigmentation of the muzzle of this horse shows white patches and black macules within patches 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 4

5 primary lesions Papule: a circumscribed, palpable solid usually round mass in the skin, less than 1cm. Slight erythmea may show in non-pigmented skin; heavily pigmented skin may not show any color change. It can be associated with pruritus caused by insect bites 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 5

6 primary lesions Plaque: a solid, elevated, flattopped lesion, more than 1cm. They may be irregular in shape but are often circular. They are related to allergic reactions from drugs or feed 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 6

7 primary lesions Nodule: a circumscribed, solid, usually round mass, usually raised and rounded more than 1cm. Nodules have the same origins as papules but increased size due to more severe reaction. 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 7

8 primary lesions Vesicle: a circumscribed, elevated, fluctuant fluid filled lesion containing serum, (1cm). Due to the thin layer of skin covering both vesicles and bullae, they often rupture, leaving a reddish eroded surface. 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 8

9 primary lesions Bulla: a vesicle more than 1cm. They can be epidermal or subepidermal. they often rupture, leaving a reddish eroded surface, therefore rarely seen intact. 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 9

10 primary lesions Pustule: a vesicle filled with pus (inflammatory cells). These lesions are seen in staph. and strept. Skin infections and later stages of Equine Coital Exanthema. These are pustules due to ECE on a stallion s penis. 4/24/2013 Dr. Khaled Al-Qudah 10
