human skin lesion environment
A skin environment which is determined by a focal region of human skin whose tissue structure has been locally altered by disease or injury, and which is demarcated from adjacent unaffected skin of the same host.

CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Stale-sweep review (#12): NCIT:C3824 'Lesion' matches the label now, but it is a pathological finding rather than a place, and the habitat here is the skin the lesion is on. The sweep's answer was right and its stated reason has stopped being true, so it is re-recorded with the reason that holds.

DEFINED
Defined as 'human skin lesion environment' under ENVO:2100003 'skin environment'. Definition authored from the record's committed deep-research report under research/habitats/, read in full; no new paid research was commissioned. GOLD's Host-associated > Mammals: Human > Integumentary system > Skin > Lesion leaf is interpreted as a human lesional skin site rather than a disease, neurological lesion, plant lesion, or generic NCIT:C3824 lesion. ENVO:2100003 'skin environment' is the tightest vendored genus because ENVO lacks lesion-, wound-, and other pathological-skin-environment children. The requested label is human-specific to avoid colliding with GOLD's distinct fish Skin > Lesion leaf, whose submerged skin lesions have a separate water-exposed boundary. No exact synonyms were authored because attested skin-lesion names are host-generic, and host-scoped variants would be coined (#339).
