What are Primary Lesions?

  1. Lesions in the early stages, flat, non-palpable changes in skin color or by elevations

  2. Lesions that develop in the later stages of disease

  3. Structural changes in the tissues caused by damage or injury

  4. Inflammatory condition of the skin

The correct answer is: Lesions in the early stages, flat, non-palpable changes in skin color or by elevations

Primary lesions are initial, early-stage changes in the skin that are considered directly associated with the disease process. These lesions can be flat or elevated and may involve changes in skin color or texture. It is essential for estheticians to be able to identify primary lesions accurately to provide proper skincare treatments. The other options are not correct as they do not accurately define primary lesions.
