final exam help - identifying lesions

I have finals this week and will need to identify and describe skin lesions from photos. Im having a difficult time with this. Does anyone know of any good websites with pictures and maybe tutorials that I would find helpful?

Thanks!

Wow - that's wild. Do you mean things like atypical moles, eczema, chicken pox, etc? This seems very medical (diagnostic) as opposed to nursing in nature. Let me know if I'm understanding correctly and we'll see what we can find for you :).

Well we dont have to go that much in depth. We need to describe primary and secondary lesion pictures with words like macule, papule, pustule; scale, crust, fissure, ulcer etc. We also have to describe formation like annular, confluent, linear, etc. AND then we have to use landmarks to describe where the lesions are on the body I'm assuming she means descriptions such as lateral to ___, or proximal to___.

..........All this WITHOUT a word bank for first semester BSN assessment class.
