  1. Nodule ( 1 cm, palpable, solid)
  2. Papule (< 1 cm, palpable, elevated)
  3. Macule (flat, non-palpable)
  4. Bulla (fluid-filled, 1 cm)
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Papule (< 1 cm, palpable, elevated)

Papule Papule = circumscribed, solid, elevated lesion less than 1 cm in diameter. Nodule is the same but larger than 1 cm and extends into deeper tissue. Macule is flat and non-palpable (colour change only). Bulla is fluid-filled and 1 cm. The case describes a small, elevated, solid palpable lump, which matches a papule.
