Which term refers to a small collection of clear fluid commonly seen in blisters?

  1. Wheal

  2. Macule

  3. Vesicle

  4. Fissure

The correct answer is: Vesicle

The term that refers to a small collection of clear fluid commonly seen in blisters is "vesicle." Vesicles are typically small, raised lesions that can contain serous fluid, and they can be found on the skin or mucous membranes. They are often caused by conditions such as friction, infections, or allergic reactions, leading to the formation of blisters filled with clear fluid beneath the epidermis. In contrast, a wheal is a raised, itchy area of skin that can result from an allergic reaction, a macule is a flat, discolored spot on the skin that does not rise above the surrounding skin, and a fissure is a deep slit or crack in the skin. Understanding these definitions helps in recognizing how vesicles differ in characteristics and causes from other skin lesions.
