Which type of lesion represents a moist and yellowish or brown formation that may result from exudate?

Scale
Erosion
Crust
Pustule

The correct answer is: Crust

A crust is a type of lesion that forms from the drying of exudate, which can be a result of various skin conditions such as infections or inflammation. The moist and yellowish or brown appearance of a crust is typically due to the accumulation of serum, blood, or pus that has dried on the skin's surface. This layer not only represents the remnants of the healing process but also indicates a potential area of irritation or infection that has produced fluid. Understanding crusts is particularly important in the field of tattooing, as they may develop around recent tattoos that experience healing complications. Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infections that could lead to the formation of crusts. Knowing what a crust is allows artists and practitioners to help clients recognize when their healing process is normal or when it may require further attention.
