Skin pigmentation and its correction

Pigment spots are an aesthetic problem for most women, but for a dermatologist, they are not just spots, but a whole series of possible diagnoses, some of which are either a precancerous process or skin cancer. A cosmetologist must know the clinical features and be able to suspect a malignant process. In medicine, it is called oncovigilance.

<blockquote>
Description: a spot of different shades of brown (from light to dark brown), with clear borders, rounded or oval in size, from a few millimeters to a centimeter or more in diameter.
</blockquote>

Possible diagnoses:

<ul>
	<li>solar lentigo;</li>
	<li>seborrheic keratoma;</li>
	<li>solar (actinic) keratoma;</li>
	<li>superficial pigmented form of basal cell carcinoma;</li>
	<li>Dubreuil&#39;s melanosis (malignant lentigo).</li>
</ul>
