I hate the word “lesions,” it makes me feel like I have leprosy or AIDS.

I don’t like the word either...why couldn’t it be called something from a sweet childhood memory like “sugar plums dancing in the head” or “the twinkle-twinkle little star disease” ? 🤔

I've always called them spots. Like leopard or cheetah spots on a negative.

When I think of lesions the word reminds me of tumors 🤬But they are more like holes. Do I have holes in my head? Yes❗️
