Unusual pigmented lesions

Picture
68 yr old lady with this mole on her iris that she has had all her life.  This is the first time I have seen it.  There is a reasonably consistent pattern of brown pigment close to the pupil and extending out to the periphery. The area of concern for me is around 9 o'clock.  I will take another picture in 3/12 time to see if there has been any change.  It is important that these lesions are followed as there is the possibility of a Melanoma forming within the nevus.

Picture
76 yr old lady with this lesion on her knee.  Grey clods with white lines can be a concern as they can indicate a Melanoma.  The history is so important here.  This lady remembers falling onto gravel and injuring her knee and this appearance has been there ever since that episode.  So the grey dots are gravel mixed with the white lines that are just scar tissue
