What is a papule?

  1. A blister containing fluid

  2. A large area of swelling

  3. A small elevation on the skin that contains no fluid but may develop pus

  4. A deep scar

The correct answer is: A small elevation on the skin that contains no fluid but may develop pus

A papule is a type of skin lesion that is typically less than 1cm in diameter and elevated above the surrounding skin. It is characterized by its lack of fluid, unlike a blister. Option B is incorrect because a papule is not a large area of swelling. Option D is incorrect because a papule does not involve scarring. Although papules may contain pus, this is not a defining characteristic and therefore option C works best.
