Nodules are elevated, solid lesions that are deeper and firmer than papules, often found within the dermis, and their margins are typically clearly identifiable. They are not necessarily pus-filled (which would be more characteristic of a pustule) nor are they flat and nonpalpable (which describes a macule).
