Fibroma
Solid elevted lesion that is larger & deeper than a pupule
A fluid-filled vesicle or blister greater than 100 cm in diameter appearing as a circumscribed area of separation of the epidermis from the subepidermal structure (subepidermal bulla) or as a circumscribed area of separation of epidermal cells (intraepidermal bulla) caused by the presence of serum, or occasionally by an injected substance.
Bulla
contact dermatitis; burns
A condition characterized by hemorrhage into the skin. Appearance of the lesions varies with the type of purpura, the duration of the lesions, and the acuteness of the onset. The color is first red, gradually darkens to purple, fades to a brownish yellow, and usually disappears in 2 or 3 weeks; color of residual permanent pigmentation depends largely on the type of unabsorbed pigment of the extravasated blood; extravasations may occur also into the mucous membranes and internal organs

A mark left in the skin due to fibrotic changes following healing of wound sore surgical incision. 2.Fibrous tissue replacing normal tissues destroyed by injury or disease
Scar
#2 Lesion
A severe, unremitting type of chronic ringworm of the scalp and nails, with scarring and formation of crusts called scutula, caused by three dissimilar dermatophytes, Trichophyton schoenleinii (most commonly), T. violaceum, and Microsporum gypseum; it occurs more frequently in the Mediterranean countries, southeastern Europe, southern Asia, and northern Africa. Syn: honeycomb ringworm, crusted ringworm, tinea favosa

Tinea Imbricata
Syn: Oriental ringworm, scaly ringworm, Tokelau ringworm

Trichophyton concentricum
Ringworm of the hand, usually referring to infections of the palmar surface.
Tinea Manus

Tinea Nigra
Syn: pityriasis nigra
An eruption of tan or brown branny patches on the skin of the trunk, often appearing white, in contrast with hyperpigmented skin after exposure to the summer sun; caused by growth of the fungus Malassezia furfur in the stratum corneum with minimal inflammatory reaction.
Tinea Versicolor
Syn: pityriasis versicolor
Dermatophytosis of the feet, especially of the skin between the toes, caused by one of the dermatophytes, usually a species of Trichophyton or Epidermophyton; the disease consists of small vesicles, fissures, scaling, maceration, and eroded areas between the toes and on the plantar surface of the foot; other skin areas may be involved.
Tinea Pedis
Syn: ringworm of foot, dermatomycosis pedis, athlete's foot
