Vascular Lesions
A vascular lieson is formed by abnormally large or numerous blood vessels located directly under the surface of the skin. These vessels may be visible through the skin or result in a red appearance of the skin. Spider Angiomas are examples of vascular lesions.
Pigmented Lesions
Melanin is the dard pigment present in skin and is produced by melanocytes. Pigmented lesions occur when an abundance of melanocytes are found in the skin. When dark pigment multiplies, it forms freckles, brown age spots, and moles. Lentigines are an example of a pigmented lesion. |
