What is a characteristic of vesicular lesions?

• A. Scaly texture
• B. Fluid-filled
• C. Itchy
• D. Solid mass

Answer: (B)

Vesicular lesions are characterized by being fluid-filled blisters or sacs that can develop on the skin or mucous membranes. This fluid accumulation occurs within the epidermal layer or, in some cases, just beneath it. They can vary in size but are typically small and may contain clear or cloudy fluid.

While other types of lesions, such as papules or nodules, might present as solid masses, vesicular lesions specifically refer to those that contain fluid. Itching often accompanies vesicular lesions, especially if they are due to an allergic reaction or infection; however, the defining feature remains their fluid-filled nature.
