What is a papule?

A small pus-filled lesion
A large sore bump without a head of pus
A large lesion filled with clear fluid
A small red spot

The correct answer is: A large sore bump without a head of pus

A papule is a small, raised bump on the skin that is usually less than 1 centimeter in size. It is typically red or pink in color and does not contain any fluid, pus, or crust on top. Option A, a small pus-filled lesion, is incorrect because that would be considered a pustule, which is similar to a papule but contains pus. Option C, a large lesion filled with clear fluid, is incorrect because that would be considered a blister or vesicle, which is different from a papule. Option D, a small red spot, is also incorrect because a papule is a raised bump, not a flat spot on the skin. Therefore, the best and most accurate answer would be B a large sore bump without a head of pus.
