Macule-skin lesion. Macule is a small SKIN LESION that is flat, smooth, and discolored. Macules are common and may appear as the presenting symptom for numerous dermatologic and other health conditions.Often the only symptom they present themselves is discoloration, though some macules itch or hurt. macule is the same texture and thickness as the adjacent skin and generally no larger than two inches in length, width, or diameter. The most common macule is a lentigo, or freckle. See also BIRTHMARK; LENTIGINES; NODULE; PAPULE; PUSTULE; VITILIGO.
The macula is the special area at the center of the retina, which is responsible for clear, detailed vision. The macula normally lies flat against the back of the eye, like film lining the back of a camera. An epiretinal membrane is a condition where a thin sheet of scar tissue grows on the surface of the retina.This scar tissue can contract causing the macula to become wrinkled and may result in swelling of the retina and vision changes.f this scar-like tissue contracts, it can causes the retina to wrinkle or pucker. Many other eye conditions can be associated with the formation of an epiretinal membrane including trauma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, prior retinal detachment, and ocular inflammation (uveitis).
