What is a "lesion"?
A lesion is an abnormal area of damaged tissue on the body. They can occur on the skin's surface or within organs and tissues. They can be caused by various factors, such as injury, infection, or disease. Lesions can vary widely in appearance and seriousness, ranging from small cuts or bruises to larger ulcers or tumors. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and can include medications, surgery, or other medical actions aimed at healing the affected tissue.
