Discrete - ANS Distinct, individual lesions that remain separate (e.g., acrochordon or skin
tags, acne).
Gyrate - ANS Twisted spiral, snakelike
Grouped - ANS Clusters of lesions (e.g., vesicles of contact dermatitis.)
Linear - ANS A scratch, streak, line, or stripe
Target (or Iris) - ANS Resembles Iris of eye, concentric rings of color in lesions (e.g., erythema

,Polycyclic - ANS Annular lesions grow together (e.g., lichen planus, psoriasis)
Diaphoresis - ANS Perfuse perspiration, accompanies an increased metabolic rate such as
occurs in heavy activity or fever
Cyanosis - ANS Bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, results from
decreased oxygen levels in arterial blood.
Pallor - ANS When red-pink tones from the oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood are lost, the
skin takes on the color of connective tissue (collagen), which is mostly white.
Erythema - ANS Intense redness of the skin is from excess blood (hyperemia) in the dilated
superficial capillaries.
Jaundice - ANS The yellow pigment results from excess, bilirubin, a by-product of red blood
cell destruction, or liver failure.
