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 telangiectasia
A 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, keloids
If 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
