What term describes structural changes in the tissues caused by damage or injury?

Dermatitis
Eczema
Lesions
Primary Lesion

The correct answer is: Lesions

Lesions are defined as structural changes in the tissues that are caused by damage or injury. In dermatology and esthetics, lesions can manifest in various forms such as cuts, breaks, wounds, or abnormalities in the skin's appearance. Understanding lesions is essential for estheticians as they may encounter different types of lesions on their clients and need to be able to identify and treat them appropriately. Dermatitis and eczema are specific skin conditions that involve inflammation of the skin, but they do not encompass all structural changes in tissues caused by damage or injury. Primary lesions, on the other hand, refer to the initial morphological changes in the skin, which can develop into different types of lesions depending on the cause and progression of the skin condition.
