Photographs showing
three very benign and common lesions: sebaceous hyperplasia which
is the yellow donut like lesion, lentigos which are the freckles
that are distributed all over this woman's cheek and a mole which
is located closer to the eyelid on the bottom left which is a
benign nevus. Note the relatively uniform color and mound-like
appearance of the benign mole. |

Totally
benign freckles (lentigos) that patients sometimes confuse for
melanoma. |
|
Totally benign, non-harmful, seborrheic
keratosis of the trunk. This is commonly confused with melanoma and
there is even a variety of melanoma called verrucous melanoma that
can mimic seborrheic keratosis. Note the scaling and trapped pearls
of horny material at the surface of this lesion.
