skin wheal

Perform skin wheal using desired needle and local anesthetic.

Mislim da se ovdje ne radi o puknciji, već o podizanju kože, no nisam sigurna.

"Under the definition of wheal, the round, elevated area of skin must be different in appearance from the surrounding skin (like in hives). So, when this surgeon has decided to do a suprapubic catheter on this gentleman who had a misplaced Foley, he elevated a "wheal" of skin (he spelled w-h-e-a-l)."

urtika

Wheals are sections of skin that is irritated and somewhat elevated in comparison with the surrounding skin. Sometimes referred to as welts, the appearance is often anywhere from pale purple to fiery red in color. Often the area is tender to the touch and may also be itchy. Several conditions can create wheals, ranging from allergic reactions to some type of topical trauma to the skin.- izvor donji link
Wheal- urtika isto kao weal (small area of skin which swells because of a sharp blow or an insect bite) Izvor medicinski riječnik školska knjiga 2005
