Leprosy \Lep"ro*sy\ (l[e^]p"r[-o]*s[y^]), n. [See {Leprous}.]
   (Med.)
   A cutaneous disease which first appears as blebs or as
   reddish, shining, slightly prominent spots, with spreading
   edges. These are often followed by an eruption of dark or
   yellowish prominent nodules, frequently producing great
   deformity. In one variety of the disease, an[ae]sthesia of
   the skin is a prominent symptom. In addition there may be
   wasting of the muscles, falling out of the hair and nails,
   and distortion of the hands and feet with destruction of the
   bones and joints. It is incurable, and is probably
   contagious.
