A vesicle is a very small blister in the skin that contains a clear liquid called serum.

The sizes of vesicles range from less than 0.1cm to a maximum of 0.5cm in diameter. Vesicles occur in the cases of several skin disorders, including eczema and herpes.

The word vesicle is included in this section because it is a type of skin lesion.
