The World Health Organization classifies oral precancerous/potentially malignant disorders into 2 general groups, as follows:
erythroplakia is a RED lesion that cannot be wiped away. erythroleukoplakia is a RED and WHITE speckled lesion that cannot be wiped away. in general, a red lesion has a worse prognosis than a white lesion. always perform a biopsy.
vesicle is a raised skin lesion that contain serous fluid. this serous fluid may contain traces of blood or pus. while pustules are raised skin lesion that contain only pus.

can diagnose the condition by microscopic examination of a smear prepared from a lesion or sputum (spit). Biopsy specimens may also reveal the infection. While blood tests are helpful, they can't determine the difference between past and active infection.
A intraepithelial lesion is a medical term used to describe abnormal growth of the epithelial cells. These are located on the surface of the cervix and this condition can lead to cervical cancer.
It is a rare condition caused by an incomplete lesion of the spinal cord

Ecchymosis is referred to as a LARGE lesion; while, petechiae is referred to as a SMALL lesion. A lesion is a abnormal change in the structure of a organ or part due to an injury or disease.
A primary lesion occurs as a result of a spontaneous manifestation of a pathological process - includes macules, papules, nodules, tumours, plaque, vesicles, bullae, pustules, wheals, burrows and telangiectasiaA secondary lesion occurs as a result of the evolution of a disease, or from external trauma - they may evolve from primary lesions - includes scales, crust, atrophy, lichenification, erosion, excoriation, fissure, ulceration, scars, eschars, keloidsIf it is hard to distinguish just think that if you don't look after a disease, or skin condition correctly then secondary skin problems can occur - just like how if you don't apply moisture to sunburn it can blister and peel
primary lesion is a macule, papule, pustlie, vesicle secondary lesion is a ulcer, crust, scar, skin atrophy, excoriation
Proximal lesion
The condition mentioned is brain herniation. According to place of lesion the brain contents may shift by structures called falx, tentorium and also sometimes foramen magnum ( hole through which the spinal cord passes)
