Nodules and lesions are both abnormal growths or areas of tissue change in the body. Nodules are typically small, solid masses or bumps that can form in various tissues, often indicating inflammation or a tumor. Lesions refer to any abnormal area of tissue that may be damaged, infected, or diseased, and can vary in size, shape, and type. Both can be benign or malignant and may require medical evaluation for diagnosis and treatment.

What lesions would most likely result from tinea a a wheal b a nodule c a fissure d an ulcer e scales?
Tinea, a fungal infection, most commonly results in lesions characterized by scales (option e). These scales appear as red, itchy patches with a raised border and are often circular. While tinea can sometimes lead to secondary lesions such as fissures or ulcerations due to scratching, the primary lesion type is typically scaly. Wheals, nodules, and ulcers are not characteristic of tinea infections.
