Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Macules are smaller than 1 cm, with a circumscribed border. Patches are larger than 1 cm and may have irregular borders. Papules are smaller than 0.5 cm. Plaques are groups of papules that form lesions larger than 0.5 cm.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Albinism is an autosomal recessive condition causing hypopigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes as a result of an inability to synthesize melanin. White patches on the skin are vitiligo. Excessive body hair is hirsutism. Overgrowth of scar tissue forms keloids.
