Repeated rubbing and scratching can lead to lichenification (thickened and roughened skin characterized by prominent skin markings caused by repeated scratching or rubbing) or excoriation (lesion caused by breakage of the epidermis, producing a raw linear area). Blisters are circumscribed elevations of the skin caused by fluid under or within the epidermis. Pustules are circumscribed pus-filled elevations of the skin. Vesicles are small (<1.0 cm in diameter). An ulcer is a skin defect in which there has been loss of the epidermis and papillary layer of the dermis.
