A skin lesion refers to any skin area that has different characteristics from the surrounding skin, including color, shape, size, and texture. Skin lesions are very common and often appear as a result of a localized damage to the skin, like sunburns or contact dermatitis.

Skin care is the range of practices that support skin integrity, enhance its appearance and relieve skin conditions. They can include nutrition, avoidance of excessive sun exposure and appropriate use of emollients.
