EspañolPAPULE
A 'papule' is a small, solid and usually conical elevation of the skin. Papules do not contain pus, which distinguishes them from pustules. Papules often occur in clusters and can accompany rashes.
A condition that causes a papule is called a "Papulosis". Examples of papuloses include:
★ Lymphomatoid papulosis
★ Bowenoid papulosis
★ Clear cell papulosis
Papules can be caused by:
★ Inflammation (which in turn is often caused by infection or abrasion of the skin)
★ Accumulated secretion of skin tissue (hyperplasia) or glandular fluids.
★ Presence of an infection such as disseminated histoplasmosis.
★ Hypertrophy of skin cells
★ Acne
★ Nodule (medicine)
★ Pearly penile papules
