What is a fissure in dermatological terms?

  1. A type of fungus

  2. A swollen lesion

  3. A crack in the skin

  4. A blister

The correct answer is: A crack in the skin

A fissure in dermatological terms refers to a crack in the skin. Option A, a type of fungus, may cause similar symptoms such as redness and peeling, but a fissure is specifically a break in the skin. Option B, a swollen lesion, may be confused with a fissure due to swelling, but a fissure refers to a specific type of skin injury. Option D, a blister, is a fluid-filled bump on the skin and is a different type of skin lesion than a fissure. So, A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe a fissure in dermatological terms.
