Acne Vulgaris

Acne Vulgaris ( 39 Questions)

A patient with acne vulgaris has inflamed, tender, and pus-filled lesions on their face. Which term best describes these lesions?


Correct Answer: D

Explanation: Pustules are inflamed, tender, and pus-filled lesions commonly seen in acne vulgaris. They are a result of bacterial infection and inflammation within the blocked hair follicles.

Incorrect choices: a. Comedones - Comedones are non-inflammatory lesions that may be open (blackheads) or closed (whiteheads) and are not inflamed or pus-filled.

b. Nodules - Nodules are larger, solid, and painful lesions that extend deeper into the skin. They are more severe than pustules and papules.

c. Papules - Papules are small, red, inflamed bumps on the skin but are not pus-filled like pustules.
