What characterizes a Bulla?

  1. Solid mass within the skin

  2. Mechanical abrasion of the epidermis

  3. Shedding of dead skin cells

  4. Similar to a Vesicle, but larger

The correct answer is: Similar to a Vesicle, but larger

A Bulla is a type of skin lesion that is larger than a Vesicle. It is typically a fluid-filled blister that forms within the skin. This distinguishes it from the other options, which describe different processes related to the skin but do not accurately characterize a Bulla. A solid mass within the skin (option A) could refer to a tumor or cyst, which are different types of skin lesions. Mechanical abrasion of the epidermis (option B) could occur during injury or trauma to the skin, but would not result in a Bulla. Shedding of dead skin cells (option C) is a normal process of skin renewal and would not create a Bulla. Therefore, the best option that accurately characterizes a Bulla is D similar to a Vesicle, but larger.
