discrete
Explanation:
in Dermatology, the descriptor
discrete
is used to denote a skin lesion that has sharp margins and stands out clearly against the background of the surrounding skin color.
a black melanoma in a person with light skin color would be a good example of a discrete lesion.
on the other hand, a lesion with a fading margin that gradually blends into the surrounding skin would be an example of a non-discrete lesion.
one of the advantages of a discrete lesion is that one can clearly and easily measure its dimensions.
one would need to know the exact context in order to provide the correct translation into Hebrew, or you can just leave it as:
