Skin lesions come in many different shapes and sizes: • Annular — round or circular with central clearing • Circinate — round, circular > arciform: partial circle • Iris or target — also known as target lesions, they are a series of concentric rings. These have a dark or blistered center. • Gyrate— connecting arcs • Linear — straight • Serpiginous — meandering; waves as though following the track of a snake. • Margination — sharp, ill-defined • Satellite Lesions — located adjacent to the body of the main lesions, a beefy red plaque may be found surrounded by numerous, smaller red macules. • Zosteriform — dermatomal They also appear in different patterns, over different parts of the body: • Localized — grouped into specific areas • Generalized — dispersed all over • Symmetric — no pattern • Asymmetric — pattern lacking randomness • Discrete — separate • Grouped — clustered • Confluent (coalescing) — smaller into larger • Cleavage plane — presented along lines of skin tension If you or someone you know is experiencing skin lesions, don’t worry!
