AB Secondary  lesions  are  those  lesions  that  are  left  behind  when  primary  lesions  resolve,  or  when  primary  lesions  are  altered  through  scratching  or  rubbing,  for  example.  Secondary  lesions  may  hold  morphologic  clues  that  can  be  leveraged  to  make  a  diagnosis,  even  in  the  absence  of  primary  lesions.  This  chapter  summarizes  secondary  lesions  and  the  diagnostic  information  that  they  can  offer.  In  this  chapter,  reference  will  also  be  made  to  the  hypo-  or  hyperpigmented  postinflammatory  macules  that  are  left  behind  after  lesions  resolve  and  the  diagnostic  clues  that  they  provide.
