What is the characteristic of a papule?

  1. Contains pus

  2. Is a discoloration without elevation

  3. Is a solid formation above the skin without pus

  4. Is a liquid-filled blister

The correct answer is: Is a solid formation above the skin without pus

A papule is a type of skin lesion that is characterized by a small, solid elevation on the surface of the skin. It is typically less than 1 centimeter in diameter and does not contain pus or fluid. Option A is incorrect because a papule does not contain pus. Option B is incorrect because it describes a macule, which is a flat, discolored spot on the skin. Option D is incorrect because it describes a vesicle, which is a fluid-filled blister. Therefore, the only correct characteristic of a papule is its solid formation above the skin without pus.
