What does a lesion refer to?

A change in skin color
A change in the structure of the skin
A type of skin moisturizer
A method to treat skin diseases

The correct answer is: A change in the structure of the skin

A lesion refers specifically to a change in the structure or integrity of the skin. This alteration can manifest as a variety of patterns, such as changes in texture, form, or presence of abnormal growths, indicative of underlying conditions. In dermatology and esthetic practice, understanding lesions is critical, as they may suggest a range of issues including infections, inflammation, or other skin disorders. In contrast, a change in skin color alone might not encompass the full definition of a lesion, as color change can occur without any structural alteration. Skin moisturizers are products designed to hydrate and protect the skin, while methods of treatment for skin diseases refer to procedural approaches rather than the definition of a lesion itself. Thus, recognizing that a lesion specifically involves structural changes is essential for accurate identification and appropriate treatment in esthetics.
