    areas of tissue that are swollen, red, and painful

    Inflammatory lesions are areas of tissue that have become swollen, red, and painful due to the body's immune response to injury, infection, or irritation. These lesions can occur in various parts of the body, including the skin, and are often characterized by the presence of immune cells and inflammatory mediators that aim to protect and heal the affected area.
