Describing a Skin Lesion in Terms
Captions available
The idea
Describing a lesion means naming four things in order: whether it is raised, what it contains, its colour, and where it sits.
In practice
Three descriptions built from the terms in this unit.
Where people slip
Each of these names appearance only. None of them names a cause, and the vocabulary does not supply one.
