A day for Ears

Picture
This lady has a new lesion on her ear that is not healing.
We are presented with an ulcer that is new and the surrounding skin that appears to be normal. 
The way I would manage this is to assume that this is Actinic Keratosis and cryotherapy  with 3/12 review is appropriate

Picture
This lady has had a lump in this area for over two years and in the last few weeks it has looked like this. 
The orange jelly like fluid centrally with normal surrounding skin suggests that there has been a cyst on this ear and that it has been damaged.  The way I would manage this is to wait and see if it heals over a month. 

Picture
This man has a history of BCC's and this spot was found on a general examination.
In the centre of the picture is a light brown / orange cystic lesion with blood vessels arching over the lesion.   This is likely to be a small BCC.       Histology - Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

Picture
This was found on a routine check The pattern is brown coloured clods with looped blood vessels.  The finger like projections are clearly seen and are characteristic of a Seborrheic Keratosis.

Picture
This is a spot that was concerning the patient. 
The pattern is skin coloured clods with looped blood vessels and white lines. 
This is a typical Seborrheic Keratosis
