Papule

Definition
  • Papules are solid, elevated lesions < 1 cm in diameter.
    • When the lesion is > 1.0 cm. in diameter, it is called a plaque.
Notes
  • If the lesion is flat (instead of raised (elevated)), it is a macule.
  • Papules or plaques (raised elevations) that are transient are called wheals.
