Macule: Circumscribed small eruptions (<_0.5cm) which are flat and cannot be felt. These are present with change in skin color and hence can be hypo or hyper-pigmented, depending upon the pathology involved. For example, vitiligo.
Papule: These are small, elevated eruptions (<_0.5cm) which can be felt upon the skin. These can occur due to hyperplasia of skin or deposition of metabolic products or due to cellular infiltrate in inner layer of skin. For example: boils.
Nodule: This term is given to the eruptions >0.5cm in diameter and have solid consistency. For example, lipoma.
Plaques: These are the skin lesions having surface area more than their height and have an altered consistency of skin. These are formed by enlargement or by confluence of individual papules.
Blisters: Fluid-filled, circumscribed and elevated eruptions are termed as blisters. These are formed due to split in the skin. Depending upon their size, they can be classified into vesicle and bullae.

Other fluid eruptions are classified according to the type of fluid filled in them for example, pustule (filled with pus), cyst (contains fluid or semi-solid material).
