Common spots that have usually been present for a long time and which need careful evaluation as they can be a melanoma. These spots appear like this because they are caused by Melanocytes that are present in the deep dermis - hence the blue colour.  Pattern analysis helps as the pigment is uniform (one colour and one pattern) and there are no other clues to malignancy.  All these pictures are benign lesions
