Abstract

The author and contact oinformation go at the end of the paper. Skin diseases, unlike afflictions of other organ systems, can be readily seen and may present with a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Dermatologic lesions are sometimes artistic, but it is not known why they may have various appearances. Such variations may include groups of papules, vesicles, pustules, and comedones, as well as keloids and granulomas, all of which may give the appearance of being round.
