Question: 1 / 50

A slightly elevated, "weeping" secondary lesion is known as what?

Papule

Vesicle

The term that describes a slightly elevated, "weeping" secondary lesion is a vesicle. Vesicles are small fluid-filled sacs that can appear on the skin, often resulting from conditions such as infections, allergic reactions, or certain skin disorders. The "weeping" nature refers to the fluid that can seep out from these lesions, which is characteristic of vesicles. Understanding the context of secondary lesions is important, as they represent changes that have occurred from primary lesions due to various factors like inflammation, infection, or trauma. Vesicles specifically indicate a buildup of fluid beneath the skin, leading to the raised appearance and potential for weeping when they rupture.
