What are primary lesions also known for?

Being always painful
Being reversible under treatment
Appearing raised and inflamed
Being only found in older individuals

The correct answer is: Being reversible under treatment

Primary lesions are primarily known for their characteristic of being reversible under treatment. This means that with appropriate skin care or medical intervention, primary lesions can often resolve and lead to improved skin health. Examples of primary lesions include macules, papules, and vesicles, which can change with treatment options such as topical medications, acne therapies, or other dermatological procedures. The other options do not accurately describe primary lesions. They are not always painful, as many may be asymptomatic. Though some primary lesions can appear raised and inflamed, this is not a defining characteristic since they also have forms that are flat or not inflamed. Additionally, primary lesions are not exclusive to older individuals; they can occur at any age and in a variety of conditions. Understanding that primary lesions have the potential to be treated effectively helps estheticians provide appropriate care to their clients.
