Overview

In dermatology and clinical veterinary medicine, vesicles are small, circumscribed, fluid-filled lesions of the skin or mucous membranes, conventionally defined as elevations measuring under about one centimeter in diameter and containing clear serous fluid; larger fluid-filled lesions are termed bullae. Vesicle formation arises from the accumulation of fluid within or beneath the epidermis, and the anatomical level of cleavage helps distinguish underlying causes. Vesicular eruptions are characteristic of several important conditions, including viral infections such as those caused by herpesviruses and the vesicular, erosive lesions of foot-and-mouth disease in cloven-hoofed livestock, as well as immune-mediated, allergic, and contact-related dermatoses. Recognizing the distribution, grouping, and evolution of vesicles is central to clinical diagnosis, because the pattern of lesions, their progression to pustules or crusts, and their localization guide differential diagnosis and sampling for laboratory confirmation. In a broader cell-biological sense the same term denotes membrane-bound intracellular sacs involved in transport and secretion, but in a clinical context vesicles primarily denote a primary skin lesion. Accurate identification supports timely diagnosis, infection control, and management of the underlying infectious or inflammatory process.
