A lesion that has a snakelike pattern is referred to as:

Linear
Serpiginous
Macular
Annular

The correct answer is: Serpiginous

A lesion that has a snakelike pattern is referred to as serpiginous. This term is derived from the Latin word "serpens," meaning snake. It specifically describes lesions that have a wavy, irregular contour often resembling the movement or shape of a snake. Serpiginous lesions can be indicative of certain dermatological conditions, such as specific fungal infections or inflammatory diseases that exhibit this atypical growth pattern. In contrast, terms like linear refer to lesions that appear in straight lines, while macular describes flat, discolored lesions without elevation. The term annular refers to ring-shaped lesions. Understanding these definitions highlights the unique characteristics of serpiginous lesions, emphasizing their distinct and recognizable pattern compared to other lesion types.
