A gross lesion is one that can be seen with the naked eye. A microscopic or histologic lesion requires the magnification of a microscope to be seen.

The length of time a lesion will last depends on the specific disease that caused the lesion in the first place.

So if you have had lesions and you haven't had them treated you need to get it treated anyway, because the longer you wait, the worse the outcome will be once the symptoms do show back up.
