GLOSSARY

Acne
A chronic skin disorder due to inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands (secretion glands in the skin).

Actinic Keratoses
Actinic keratoses are common premalignant skin tumors that appear as small, raised, flaky lesions usually found on heavily sun-exposed skin in older people. They are mainly due to long-term exposure to the sun in susceptible persons and may progress to squamous cell carcinoma.

Bruise (Bruised, Bruising)
Injury producing a hematoma or diffuse extravasation of blood without breaking the skin.

Centimeter (Centimeters, cm)
A metric unit of length equaling one hundredth of a meter, or ten millimeters. There are 2.54 millimeters in one inch.

Dermatitis
A general term used to refer to eruptions or rashes on the skin.

Discharge (Discharges)
A secretion, of pus for example, from a wound or bodily orifice.

Eczema
Swelling of the outer skin of unknown cause. In the early stage it may be itchy, red, have small blisters, and be swollen, and weeping. Later it becomes crusted, scaly, and thickened.

Goose Bumps (Goose Flesh, Goose Pimples, Goosebumps, Goose-Bumps)
Momentary roughness of the skin caused by erection of the papillae in response to cold or fear.

Lesion (Lesions)
Any damage to tissue structure or function; an abnormal change in body tissue caused by disease or injury. A scar is a lesion, as is cancer, a stomach ulcer or a pimple.

Lymph Nodes (Axillary Nodes, Inguinal Nodes, Lymph Gland, Lymph Glands, Lymph Node, Lymphatic)
Small, bean-shaped nodes at various points throughout the body that function to filter the lymph fluid and attempt to destroy the microorganisms and abnormal cells which collect there. The most common locations are the neck (both sides and front), armpit (axillary) and groin (inguinal), but also under the jaw and behind the ears. Swollen or painful lymph nodes generally result from localized or systemic infection, abscess formation, or malignancy. Other causes of enlarged lymph nodes are extremely rare. Physical examination for lymph nodes includes pressing on them to check for size, texture, warmth, tenderness and mobility. Most lymph nodes can not be felt until they become swollen, and then will only be tender when pressed or massaged. A lymph node that is painful even without touching indicates greater swelling. Lymph nodes can usually be distinguished from other growths because they generally feel small, smooth, round or oval-shaped and somewhat mobile when attempts are made to push them sideways. Because less fat covers the lymph nodes in children, they are easier to feel, even when they are not busy filtering germs or making antibodies. Childrens' nodes enlarge faster, get bigger in response to an infection and stay swollen longer than an adult's. Also known (incorrectly) as lymph glands.

Metabolism (Metabolic, Metabolize, Metabolizes, Metabolizing)
The chemical processes of living cells in which energy is produced in order to replace and repair tissues and maintain a healthy body. Responsible for the production of energy, biosynthesis of important substances, and degradation of various compounds. Also defined as the sum total of changes in an organism in order to achieve a balance (homeostasis): Catabolic burns up, anabolic stores and builds up; the sum of their work is metabolism.

Mole (Moles, Nevi, Nevus)
Known more accurately as a "nevus", a mole is a lesion of the skin that may be present from birth, but which most often appears later in life. By three years of age, 40% of children will have at least one nevus. Some varieties are hereditary and most have color. A common nevus in light-skinned people is typically small, round, tan or brown, with a smooth border, and exactly the same throughout. Other types may be very large, or have irregular borders. There are dozens of different types, with many shapes, colors and sizes. While most are benign, malignant changes can occur to turn the benign nevus into a melanoma.

Nipple (Areola, Nipples, Subareolar)
The small projection near the center of the breast containing the outlets of the milk ducts, OR the corresponding projection of the male breast. The areola is the darker tissue that encircles the nipple. Subareolar describes the location beneath the surface of the areola.

Polyp (Polyps)
A usually nonmalignant growth or tumor protruding from the mucous lining of an organ such as the nose, bladder or intestine, often causing obstruction.

Psoriasis
An inherited skin disorder in which there are red patches with thick, dry silvery scales. It is caused by the body making too-many skin cells. Sores may be anywhere on the body but are more common on the arms, scalp, ears, and the pubic area. A swelling of small joints may go along with the skin disease.

Seborrhea (Seborrheic)
Skin disease characterized by dry or moist, greasy, yellow crusts or scales. A disorder of the sebaceous glands, with changes in the amount and quality of the oils secreted. Although it can occur in any part of the body, seborrhea of the scalp (dandruff) is most common.

Seborrheic Keratoses
Seborrheic keratoses are raised growths on the skin. Seborrheic means greasy and keratosis means thickening of the skin. There may be just one or clusters of dozens. They usually start off light tan in color and then may darken to dark brown or nearly black. They may be oval spots a fraction of an inch across, or form long Christmas tree-like patterns on the torso that are inches long.

The consistent feature of seborrheic keratoses is their waxy, pasted-on or stuck-on look. The look is often compared to brown candle wax that was dropped onto the skin.

Telangiectasia
Small, unsightly red, purple or blue blood vessels found along the surface on the face, upper chest, neck and rarely on other parts of the body. Similar veins are found on the legs but called spider veins.
