Discrete - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Distinct, individual lesions that remain separate (e.g., acrochordon or
skin tags, acne).
Gyrate - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Twisted spiral, snakelike
Grouped - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Clusters of lesions (e.g., vesicles of contact dermatitis.)
Linear - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅A scratch, streak, line, or stripe
Target (or Iris) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Resembles Iris of eye, concentric rings of color in lesions (e.g.,
erythema multiforme)
Zosteriform - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Linear arrangement along a unilateral nerve route (e.g., herpes
zoster)
Polycyclic - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Annular lesions grow together (e.g., lichen planus, psoriasis)
Diaphoresis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Perfuse perspiration, accompanies an increased metabolic rate
such as occurs in heavy activity or fever
Cyanosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, results from
decreased oxygen levels in arterial blood.
,Pallor - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅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 - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Intense redness of the skin is from excess blood (hyperemia) in the
dilated superficial capillaries.
Jaundice - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The yellow pigment results from excess, bilirubin, a by-product of red
blood cell destruction, or liver failure.
