What characterizes a papule?

  1. Fluid-filled

  2. Pus-filled

  3. Elevation without fluid

  4. Hyperpigmentation

The correct answer is: Elevation without fluid

A papule is a raised, solid skin lesion that measures less than 1 centimeter in diameter. It is typically red, pink, or skin-colored and does not contain fluid or pus. The other options, such as fluid-filled (A) or pus-filled (B) refer to other types of skin lesions, namely vesicles and pustules. Hyperpigmentation (D) refers to a change in skin color and is not a characteristic of a papule. Therefore, option C is the most accurate description of a papule.
