A vesicle is a very small blister in
the skin that contains a clear liquid
called
serum.
The sizes of vesicles range from less than 0.1 cm to a maximum of 0.5
cm in diameter.
Vesicles occur in several skin disorders, including eczema and herpes.. The term "vesicle" is included in this section
because it is a type of skin lesion. These are required study for many
courses
in
aspects
of health and holistic therapies, especially bodywork therapies.
