81 yr old man who has had several BCC's removed in the past has this pigmented lesion on his shoulder
Same man with the lesion shown on Dermatoscopy.
There is ulceration with chaotic pigmentation. A clue is that there are blue clods present and with his Hx of BCC's this is likely to be a BCC.

This spot was found in the middle of a 60 yr olds back
It looks like there is a central scar which is probably from someone doing a biopsy from this lesion in the past. Has it changed - who knows. There is a reticular pattern with thickened lines and in some places the lines are thicker than the width of the space between ( a clue to melanoma) The lesion is asymmetric with irregular pigmentation. It is likely that this is a Clarks nevus however it is a lonely lesion and a biopsy or close dermatoscopic followup would be reasonable.

Another shoulder lesion that has a waxy appearance. The clue here is the multiple different coloured clods This is a Seborrheic Keratosis
