Are lesions the same thing as callouses?

Lesions are places where the skin is broken & sometimes infected. Callouses are like you’d get on your hands from continually using a shovel, or something similar. The skin isn’t broken on a callous.

@jbfletcherfan – that’s what i thought at first too, but i did some Googling and now I don’t know. “A lesion is any abnormal tissue found on or in an organism” wiki

I figured Fluther would have the answer.

All callouses are lesions but not all lesions are callouses.

A lesion is a break in the normal integrity of the tissue. It can be a cut as @jbfletcherfan suggests but it could also be a tumour, a wart, a burn or whatever.

How can they prove this heavy PSL3 user isn’t also regularly using his hand for other things that might lead to callouses, and warts? (Ok, j/k)

Another great article from the journal of the bleeding obvious.

I read this as “are lesbians callous?”

@PupnTaco An easily made mistake, that any one of could have fallen victim to.

To make this even more confused, narrowings in the coronary tree, left and right side are referred to as leshions. These are not callouses or cuts in the surface, but build up of plaque material that reduces the blood flow in the vessel..
