Ophthalmology[edit | edit source]

In ophthalmology, the term "hull" is used to describe a specific part of the eye. This is not to be confused with the cornea, iris, or retina, which are separate and distinct parts of the eye. The hull is a less commonly discussed part of the eye, but it plays a crucial role in maintaining the eye's shape and protecting it from damage.

Dermatology[edit | edit source]

In dermatology, a "hull" refers to the outer covering of certain types of skin lesions. These can include warts, moles, and other types of skin growths. The hull of a skin lesion is often the first part of the lesion to be noticed by the patient, and it can provide important clues about the nature of the lesion.
